Anabella Paige - “Glimpse”
NYC-based singer-songwriter Anabella Paige has just released the powerful dream pop track, “Glimpse,” a formidable, vibrantly sonic journey. The track starts modestly, with the mellow, intimate, and contemplative tones of an acoustic guitar. The stripped-back arrangement allows the melancholically tinged and beautifully vulnerable vocal to take centre stage, drawing you directly into the arrangement.
“Glimpse“ quickly adorns musical layers, building the dynamic intensity. Jangly, reverberating guitar gives a sense of introspective, emotional intensity, while a growing wave of white noise rises up from underneath. Over the chorus sections, this noise breaks into a cacophony of fuzzy shoegaze guitar. Coupled with the hypnotic, pulsing kick drum, there is a striking feeling of intense emotional turmoil, but also a striking sense of catharsis.
The vocal performance of Anabella Paige is coated in gorgeous reverb that allows every emotion to connect deeply with the listener, from haunting emotional tones, to lush, soaring, soulful intensity. Surrounded by beautiful aux layers, the performance is nothing short of majestic.
“Glimpse” follows a classic pattern of ebb and flow, falling back to vulnerable intimacy before exploding again at the crescendo like a firework. This feeling of stark contrast ensures that you remain 100% engaged throughout this wonderful track.
