I’m excited to share 'Crossroad', the striking second single from electronic producer Be Svendsen and vocalist Kamilla Kovacs, taken from their forthcoming concept album The Open. A conceptual project based on a book written in 1923 by Svendsen's great-great-grandfather.
Built around a heavily sedated break, that rolls, crashes, sends out phased and delayed slo-mo ricochets. Intended to create a “deep swampy feeling”, the production sonically floats into the direction of early 90’s trip-hop and the likes of Funki Porcini or the Bristolian sound of Portishead, Tricky and Massive Attack.
Shots, showers of debris. dubbed, dread, a little gothic, fear in its funk, it possesses an obsessive moth-to-the-flame quality.
The lyrics, given a pitch perfect, jazzy, bluesy delivery by Kamilla Kovacs, poetically describe the prison of society’s distractions and traps, and the bravery involved in letting all that, the world, and one’s ego go.
