Christina Munsey - “muscle memory”
North Carolina-based singer-songwriter Christina Munsey has just released the heartfelt and contemplative indie pop ballad, “muscle memory.”
“muscle memory” is founded upon the intimate and reflective tones of acoustic guitars that weave, pulse, and shimmer richly throughout the composition. These gorgeous sounds evoke feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality, which are elegantly enhanced by flurries of strings.
Pushing the track forward is a subdued, yet steady pulse of percussion that brings a pleasing sense of cohesion. These sounds never overpower the other elements and only emerge from their buried slumber as the emotions and dynamics begin to lift over the halfway point. Underneath, bass brings a deep, soothing warmth to the composition whilst adding subtle melodic interest.
The vocal of Christina Munsey is intimate, expressive and melodically engaging. The breathy delivery is filled with emotion throughout, which is strikingly enhanced by the heartfelt backing vocals that tenderly lend support. Lyrically, the track is deeply emotional and filled with a vivid introspective narrative that explores how the spark and intensity has been lost in a relationship.
“muscle memory” is a wonderfully melancholic track that explores relatable themes of love and loss. The music is comforting and reflective, but it is the excellent vocals of Munsey that make this track truly worth your undivided attention.
