Italy-born, Germany-based singer-songwriter Febdo has arrived on our log with the intimate sounds of “When You Rise,” a track that reveals the very marrow of unconditional love.
This delightfully lo-fi folk song was recorded in a tried-and-true, one-take fashion, gritty with the warm sounds of analog tape and bestowing the raw truth of genuine songwriting. “When You Rise” opens to the plucked notes of an acoustic guitar, so intimate that it sounds as though the song is being performed right in front of you.
Fedbo’s vocal performance bears the same soul-stirring weight as the guitar, hitting the listener hard with an authentic vibe that often tends to be lacking in many other modern recordings. And as he traverses the endless fire ignited by love, there is never an instant where the listener can doubt a single word of his emotionally-charged delivery.
It is not often that a solo performance can work its way beneath our skin, but there is something truly magical occurring in “When You Rise.” It is the epitome of folk music, where the human heart beats so prominently that it becomes an instrument itself. You really need to hear this one.
