Imagine a musical tapestry woven with threads of solace, empathy, and the unwavering bond of friendship. Nicholas Allen long, widely known as Wavewulf, the electronic music expert based in New York City, has crafted such a masterpiece in his latest single, “In Every Blue.” Released on July 19, this moving track, a signal of his upcoming album “Unbreakable Soul,” invites us into a world where the blues can be washed away by the warmth of human connection. Let’s get deep.
The song begins with a gentle, pulsating synth melody that immediately captivates the senses. It’s like a comforting embrace, enveloping us in a serene soundscape. The rhythmic backdrop, characterized by a subtle, steady drumbeat, provides a solid foundation for the emotional journey that unfolds. Nala Spark’s vocals are the heart and soul of “In Every Blue.” Her voice, smooth and comforting, glides effortlessly over the instrumental bed, delivering the lyrics with a heartfelt sincerity. Her delivery is gentle and powerful and conveys the message of unwavering support and friendship with remarkable depth. The way she sings the lines “when the rain starts to pour, and the sky turns grey” evokes a sense of shared vulnerability and resilience.
Thematically, “In Every Blue” is a beautifully crafted song about the bonds that hold us together when life’s storms threaten to pull us apart. The lyrics explore the idea that friendship is the family we choose, and Nala transports this with a touching and relatable honesty. The lines, “Friends are the family that we choose, they make us smile despite the tears, despite the bruises,” are not just the words, but the very essence of what it means to stand by someone through thick and thin. Also, the chorus provides a counterbalance, assuring us that we will not be alone. The phrase “we will be there for you” is repeated with such belief that it becomes a mantra of comfort and reassurance.
Musically, Wavewulf’s production is masterful and blends elements of electronic music with the warmth and accessibility of pop. The use of analog synthesizers and drum machines adds a vintage feel to the track, while the modern production recipes ensure that the song remains fresh and relevant. The interplay between the melodic elements and the rhythmic foundation creates a dynamic and engaging listening experience.
As we eagerly await the release of Unbreakable Soul on October 4th, “In Every Blue” stands as a shining example of what Wavewulf has to offer. It’s a song that lingers long after the final note has faded, leaving behind a sense of comfort and hope. With its beautiful blend of evocative lyrics, soulful vocals, and exquisite production, “In Every Blue” is more than just a song—it’s a heartfelt promise of unwavering support and enduring friendship, captured in musical form.
