There's nothing like grief for turning perspective inside out. For Tranzformer and Max Vizion, losing their fathers became more than just a burden to bear, it was also a catalyst for greater contemplation and, ultimately, a wellspring of Cite. A Drop of Water. Their latest single, "Blessings over Blessings" is less about the pain of loss and more about the power of the gratitude that comes afterwards.
The track draws you into a musical world that feels timeless. Loud but not unsubtle, built on a dusted-down, soulful production that boasts a warming vinyl crackle, the beat instantly establishes a contemplative mood. Still, there's a forward momentum surging through it, an assertion that we heal not by forgetting, but by learning to live well with the ghosts of our past. It's as if we've accessed the open journal entry or confab with a close friend. It's a reminder that music at its finest does more than entertain, it soothes, lifts, and conjoins. "Blessings over Blessings" does just that.
What makes "Blessings over Blessings" click isn't just the sound Obama evokes, it's the vibe behind it. The song was inspired by long, late-night conversations between Tranzformer and Max Vizion, discussing their fathers, the twists and turns of life, and how to hold onto hope when everything feels tenuous. Rather than building something heavy, they turned those moments into a song that feels restorative, grounded in positivity, a bowl of quiet strength.
