In a space somewhere between the feeling of being thrown around in a time machine and the soft echoes of lovers' whispers in a canyon, the latest release captures a gentle essence. This is the heart of Mar Dubrule's new single, "incoerência." It doesn't shout for your attention. It invites you to come closer.
The song blends a cozy folk sound with a smooth jazz rhythm, creating an intensely personal yet relatable experience. Dubrule doesn't just perform the music. They truly embody it. Their voice is soft and relaxed, floating over simple guitar melodies, almost like sharing intimate secrets with a good friend. What stands out about "incoerência" is its simplicity. There's no excessive buildup or dramatic moments. Instead, Dubrule creates a rich atmosphere using minimal elements. Pauses that feel just as meaningful as the music, a soft saxophone that drifts in like a distant memory, and thoughtful musical choices that evoke the reflective nature of jazz. "incoerência" is a charming contradiction. The song is not messy at all. However, emotionally, it has a dreamy quality that captures the feeling of experiencing many contradictory emotions at once without being able to name them. It's as if Dubrule has tapped into a musical form of expressing swirling feelings.
This music transcends the usual boundaries of genre, refusing to be confined to a single style. It's folk. It's jazz. But more than anything, it's a mood that is quiet, soulful, and deeply authentic. It reflects those moments of late-night soul-searching, the haze of early mornings, and everything in between.
