The track is just the fourth release from the artist but feels era-defining.
Floridian singer-songwriter Ari Rabin, better known as Alnev, is someone who has garnered an ardent following since the release of his 2019 debut single ‘Give Love’, but his fourth may just be his most ambitious and awe-inspiring release to date.
The track, ‘Van Gogh’, has a theatrical sensibility that melds a punk sense of cutting edge with more timeless, evergreen sounds like smooth jazz and cinematic pop, making for a sound that feels similar in scope and depth to the most daring balladry from artists like Panic! At The Disco and My Chemical Romance. There is a real aura around the track that gives it an air of circumstance and importance, while the gravity of the vocal delivery and the lyrics keeps the track grounded and on track, making for one of the most moving and distinctive pieces of musical art that you’re likely to hear this year. A really gorgeously put together track that feels difficult to do justice and explain the intricacies of with words. Alnev is a writer and artist that feels well on his way to bigger, brighter stages, and with the sheer score and audacity of this sound, he truly deserves it.
