Rising out of the lush musical landscape of Emotions In Every Color, Waves_On_Waves, Sonic Shades Of Blue, and Waves On Waves Orange Crush return with the moody single, “I’ll Always Be In Love With You.” Out for Halloween, this song perfectly captures that ecstatic, slightly nauseating sensation of being completely submerged in sound, a rush that undercuts listeners, leaving them underwater, with nothing but waves and the music remaining.
Within the opening seconds of the song, its complex instrumentals wash over you like a waterfall of colour. This theme closely coincides with that of the album itself, exploring one's emotions. Waves_On_Waves have long been held in high regard for their immersive sound design, but there’s an intimacy here that cuts through the thick, textural layers. The artistically detailed contributions of Sonic Shades Of Blue lay warm, melancholic colors against the depth created by Waves On Waves Orange Crush’s unique energy.
The track’s production is at once sweeping and granular, bubbling up during moments of quiet meditation or stretching out into soaring, almost striking crescendos. Vocals gracefully glide, a ghostly tenderness on the ballad about eternal love and fragility. It’s the type of song that feels like it coils around you, a reverberation that lingers long after it concludes.
“I’ll Always Be In Love With You” represents far more than a record, it asks us to attune ourselves to music as an emotional avalanche, something that carries you away and then drops you pondering the metamorphic variety of emotions inspired by every last note. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, this release cements Waves_On_Waves & co. as masters of musical storytelling, with decades of sound adventures interweaving an incessant curiosity about what sounds have to say.
