The track provides a hauntingly stark insight to life with depression and way it can hold you down
As a songwriter, Christian Ellery, also known as Posh Chocolates, is someone that seems adept at capturing the essence of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and on latest release ‘Gravity’, the artist is well and truly feeling the wrath of the latter.
‘Gravity’ is used to describe a state of depression. A feeling of being grounded and held down from being who you want to be and doing what you wanted to do, when nothing else seems to be tied to the same chains that you are. The tracks dreamy sonic soundscape and laid-back lull seem to invoke this nightmarish sense of reality and an inability to take hold of your situation and impact it in any meaningful way. Christian’s vocal performance takes on a haunting and often mesmeric quality that pulls you into the depths of the track to sink alongside its protagonist.
