Blooming Fire's most recent single, "Waterfalls," is an artistic and emotional release that reads as part confessional, part cleanse. The collage-making hip hop outfit, who mix alternative hip hop and indie rock, provides the opportunity for people to feel what it really means to let it go not just in words but by sound, spirit, and rhythm.
"Waterfalls" is a musical version of a body of water that starts as a gurgle but becomes an emotional current. The mix of alternative rock nuances and hip-hop-esque vocal delivery forms a lively but contemplative feel. The production of the song is natural, creating a bed of rolling percussion that is just as free and unencumbered as the titled imagery. The song taps into themes of release and renewal, the emotional expulsion that happens when you confront your inner tides.
Blooming Fire can leech some of the universal appeal from that well-worn sentiment, then transport it in rich metaphors and soulful instrumentation, and the chorus feels like a breath of freedom. "Waterfalls" is the kind of track that lets you know music is transformative. Introducing the expertise of channeling emotion through sound, Blooming Fire's performance reflected a world of creativity and an ever-so-human core.
