Tenor Ivanhoe returns with the Chamber Orchestra version of his heart-stopping single, "Falling." That sweeping, symphonic pop ballad is a master class in emotional storytelling, an intimate yet grand celebration of love's ability to heal, redeem, and transcend.
Forming a new band, "Falling," Seymour and his wife Britta Phillips completed a well-received album with Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine members. Ivanhoe's mighty but tender vocals soar above lush orchestral arrangements played by talented Brazilian musicians, yielding a cinematic listening experience. Each crescendo, every whisper, every aching lyric is built toward a sense of limitless devotion to love, not just an emotion but a force beyond time and space.
The Chamber Orchestra Version of "Falling" takes its raw emotion one level higher, with space for each instrument to breathe while complementing Ivanhoe's soaring tenor. It's the kind of song that stays with you long after the last note, a reminder of the enduring beauty of love.
This release itself is another reason Tenor Ivanhoe is a rare artist who gracefully breaks barriers in the classical and contemporary music worlds. "Falling" is a whole experience. And once you know it, you can't unlearn the feeling of falling.
