"Fountains," Soane's latest release, is a bracing and confident contemplation of connection, intimacy, and the strength that comes with embracing one's desires. The product and sound of 25th Hour in Paris, the song immerses its audience in a world of modern R&B, as shimmering synths provide an intoxicating backdrop for mesmerizing percussion that introduces us to this very desirable soundscape.
The harmonies hold everything together, creating a sense of reflective yesteryear, while the driving pulse keeps everything on solid footing and makes "Fountains" irresistible. The song is a wholehearted embrace of connection in your own way. It reconciles sensuality with self-possession, highlighting the irresistible tension between desire and self-possession. It's the words teamed with that slow drag of music, which places you somewhere where intimacy is one part choice and control, rather than another name for passion and attraction.
"Fountains" is a track that begs for repeat listens, each of which yields new textures, harmonic modulations, and emotional depth. Soane is a master at her craft, combining modern R&B threads with traditional themes of love, longing, and the ecstasy of connection through others. Amidst the disposable hits that dominated electronic music of this time, Soane creates a track that is an absolutely immersive experience. "Fountains" is typical of her art, and listening to it remains a magical experience that haunts the memory or the heart beyond its actual length, making you wish for more.
