New York City-based singer songwriter Emma Rose Botti, aka dearest, blends pop, rock, and indie folk in the reflective and sensitively vulnerable track, “Everything.”
Founded on the mellow, weaving tones of fingerpicked acoustic guitar, “Everything” evokes a pleasing, contemplative, and introspective mood. As the sounds flow with a soothing warmth, the track feels as if it is meditatively rising and falling, almost like a conversation.
Smooth piano tones soon join in, tenderly melting into the composition, while synths heighten the dreamy, wistful atmosphere. The well-orchestrated bass and drums play a subtle yet essential role in shaping the track’s mood, adding a pleasing fluidity to the groove while allowing the other elements enough space to breathe.
The expressive and sincere vocal of dearest is the shining star of “Everything.” Her performance has a clear, warm, natural, almost conversational delivery. With smooth, relaxed phrasing and subtle harmonies, the vocal elegantly guides us through the lyrics that explore the complexity of relationships where sensitivity can make you highly empathetic and caring, but also leaves you vulnerable to hurt.
With thoughtful lyrics and soothing meditative musical layers, “Everything” strikes an elegant balance between reflective sadness and a quiet sense of optimism.
