American songwriter Giulio Cercato, featuring Emma VII, released a new single, Orange Skies. It’s a heartfelt love story blossoming into something deeper.
The music is Electronic. The sound is immersive and relaxing. The song has great rhythm with a natural flow. Giulio Cercato does remarkable work playing the keyboard. It starts slowly, then beautifully picks up into a lovely semi-fast tempo. The composition is well thought out in conveying those mixed emotions, joy, overwhelm, etc. The tune also blends a 90s/2000s vibe with contemporary sounds. It parallels Katy Perry’s single Firework and the dance-party mix album from the 2000s. The chorus has beats that sound like a fast heartbeat, representing joy and excitement. The music has the right sound and tone to represent adventure and romance.
Emma VII’s voice is rich and soulful. She sounds soft, almost whisper-like. Her vocal style conveys the mixed emotions of being in love, especially the joy and relief of seeing your significant other.
The lyrics are simple, poetic and hopeful. It’s also a romantic metaphor for the beginning of a blossoming love story. Hearing the song gives you hope that your true love is out there. It’s dream-like and magical. The repetition works well with this kind of Electronic song. The verses and chorus flow naturally with the song’s rhythm. The orange skies are a lovely reference to sunrises and sunsets, those precise moments of the day that represent great change. Orange also refers to the mix of red and yellow, colours that convey passion and joy, respectively. The depth of this tune is impressive, using simplistic writing to describe profound emotions. The “float away” detail nicely captures the feeling that anything is possible. The song’s overall sentiment is romantic and inspirational.
The single Orange Skies is available.
