Optacure, an indie-pop project led by singer-songwriter Edmund Gemelo Jr., is back and ready to celebrate with the riveting new single "With The Moon." "With The Moon" is a dreamy and intimate story about the magic of companionship and the beauty of nights beneath the stars.
Drawing on an evening of laughter and deep conversations under the stars, "With The Moon" represents the ephemeral desire of moments we wish would last forever. Optacure's warm, intimate lyricism and dreamlike sonic landscape invite you to get lost in nostalgia and contemplate those who make the most simple moments unforgettable.
"With The Moon" is signature Gemelo storytelling at its best, recited in soft yet emotive vocals that feel like a warm whisper in the night. The production, spearheaded by longtime collaborator Ean Aguila (who worked remotely from the Philippines), enhances the song's atmospheric quality, mixing indie-pop melodies with understated electronic textures. The result? An expansive and deeply personal sound, lush and enveloping.
Drawing on inspiration from indie-folk to electro-pop, "With The Moon" demonstrates Optacure's ability to combine a reflective approach with forward-thinking sonics. His increasing worldwide following speaks to the universality of his music, which is deeply personal but utterly relatable.
SYML, Novo Amor, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, you name it, Optacure is still carving out its spot in the indie realm and doing so in a way that proves the loudest feelings aren't always handled in the noisiest of ways.
