Tennyson King and Lindi Ortega
Canada-based Tennyson King and Lindi Ortega have collaborated to create the irresistible indie folk track “Where I Make My Home.”
The song opens with the warm, intimate tones of acoustic guitar. The gentle strumming evokes a sense of closeness and permeates a lush, emotional depth. The atmosphere is further enhanced by shimmering layers of electric guitar that melt soothingly into the composition. Organ tenderly pads the track, imbuing it with a sense of grandeur and spirituality.
Percussively, a stripped-down, rootsy approach is taken in the production. A kick drum provides a slow heartbeat while a tambourine takes the place of the snare. This gives the track a simple authenticity that is hard to resist. As we reach the halfway mark, “Where I Make My Home” begins to soar into something incredibly majestic. The intensity of the instrumentation swells with a lush sense of richness.
It is the vocal duet between King and Ortega that brings a palpable emotional depth to the track. The two voices intertwine in a beautiful sense of harmony. Their performance is deeply intimate and gorgeously supported by soulful backing vocals as the song climbs to spectacular heights.
According to King and Ortega, “Where I Make My Home” is “a song that highlights the recognition that home can be found within ourselves, the people we love, the strangers we meet, and in magical places we never knew we would find.”
“Where I Make My Home” is the first of three upcoming collaborations with notable fellow Canadian songwriters and, after listening to this stunning composition, you won’t want to miss any of them.
