"Twilight" by Like a Dead Poet is a beautifully weird, haunted, funky pop mutant that twists light and shadow into meter. It's that twilight sound, the in-between where day meets night, a shining unfurling of collective fantasies from an artist with a new grasp on her faith.
It oozes Contemporary R&B smoothness, but is held in place by the rhythmic uptick of Adult Contemporary pop-rock, giving it a cinematic, beyond-this-planet feel. The beauty of "Twilight" is that it is danceable and introspective, sensual and eerie. The production is sleek, every note feels human, as if it's breathing through the speakers. Its tone has a sense of memories, an echo of those quiet moments when you walk to the window and feel the day slipping away.
The vocals have that same duality, soft but firm, held in check but emotional. They hover like ghosts above the beat, leading you through an emotional fog. "Twilight" is a song that simply draws your attention, softly and confidently. Like a Dead Poet carves out moods, and with "Twilight," Like a Dead Poet built a world that you'll want to dwell in.
