The track appears at the tail-end of the artist’s debut album The Town & The City.
Emerging as a real CLOUT favourite with his recent releases, singer-songwriter Ryan Gross and his indie project Skinny Dippers has continuously beguiled us with his immersive storytelling and heartfelt tracks.
The latest addition to this collection of triumphs is the artist’s new single ‘Icarus Emerged’. The track is about aiming high and ultimately getting burnt in the process, akin to the narrative of the Greek myth, but prefers to focus on the journey and the momentary glory rather than the ultimate outcome. It is this sense of optimism and unique perspective that makes Skinny Dipper and Ryan’s work such a joy, with his creative lens providing an ever-interesting insight to whatever subjects his track’s tend to touch on. Musically, the track is more of what we have come to expect from the project, with lush, melodic arrangements gently met by breathy vocals, creating an atmosphere that serves to bask in this moment of fleeting happiness and glory.
