DARWICHE is back with a bang after dropping their new single “Raindrops in November”, a song that hits you from the start with its unsophisticated roar and relentless riffs. Utilizing a stormy combination of stratospheric hard rock and the poetic pulse of the season, DARWICHE’s music could not be a better fit for the chilly winds that descend on us in November.
“Raindrops in November” has a commanding presence. The song’s propulsive drum beat and Darwiche's gritty, emotive vocal stir up an atmosphere of defiance as she reflects on the Song, proving this artist can successfully put emotion into force, whether it be anger or heartbreak. There’s a kind of relief release in the flow of the instrumentation, thundering drums and incendiary guitar work loop around one another, building an ever-escalating environment that demands your attention.
The single explores the turbulence and melancholy that often come with late autumn, but it never bogs down. Instead, it turns introspection into anthemic energy, offering listeners both something to feel in their guts and something with which to headbang. It’s hard rock that doesn’t just take your attention, but earns it.
“Raindrops in November” is proof that DARWICHE can seamlessly interlace emotion and delicate nuance to create a song that’s at once both timeless and immediate. A fan of hard rock should be entranced by its genuineness, but casual listeners, too, may well be blindsided by its force and artistry and be unable to resist. And with this release, DARWICHE aren’t just releasing a single, they’re making a claim.
