Take the disproportionate melody-tempo ridges of classical music and pair them with electro-synth pop and you have Kirty Adams’ take on music.
You might not like it at first – there’s a strangeness to the composition which neither fits into classical or pop brackets. But there’s no denying the musical dexterity of this offering.
The video is sweet and Tumblr-esque. Forest greenery counters her red dress and veil, resulting in a strikingly organic montage as she moves through the trees.
A raindrop, pizzicato violin paces out the backbone of the track – while her liquid vocals spill across. Then all of a sudden the bass-line dissolves as the chorus drops in the form of gossamer-fine synth.
It’s vibrantly varied ode to letting go: “I gave you some of my feathers/so I could grow new ones.”
Somehow the sound has found its root in the unexpected, and while it’s far from unpleasant, it might hit a temporary nerve. My suggestion is to tap into it one note more.
Classic music is seldom streamlined. So why, then, should pop be?
