The track continues to showcase the truly unique style and atmosphere of the artist.
Thanks to her atmospheric and ambient brand of indie-pop, London-based singer-songwriter ACTRESE has spent the last few years establishing herself as a unique artist that has a lot to offer, boasting a package that feels quite unlike anything else.
The latest release from the artist is her new single ‘Vivid But Vague’, a dreamy, melodic release that effortlessly whisks you away into a floaty, shape-shifting array of sounds, both soft but packing an unmistakable dark edge. The haunting track’s swirling lyrics and imagery touch upon the subject of fleeting moments, people and feelings, and the way that we can dwell on them and wish that they lingered around for longer. Atmosphere is everything on this track, and it’s ethereal, almost other-worldly nature lures you into vast and unique sonic world in a way that few artists can.
’You are in a secret crypt-like club, you have already heard Ben Howard and Jessie Ware play their acoustic sets with a punch.” ACTRESE says“That’s when you hear ‘Vivid But Vague’. You’re into a conversation with a mysterious, intriguing man, the crowd chatter is loud and you gradually begin to hear a gentle, anxious voice backed by ambient pads (those of a church choir), vividly but vaguely. Preaching for the lack of a better word, praising yet dreading the fleeting moments. Just when you think it’s ended, the song transforms into a different shape. Heavy, rough around the edges, although full of potential, contradiction and soul. Bendy guitar in tango with a full of substance voice. It might have been a dream. You’ve experienced it. It’s all that matters.’’
