I am very familiar with GEISTE having interviewed her, and it was a joy to see this song among the Songbird HQ inbox as well as in my email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let\u2019s talk \u201cTwig.\u201d Atmospheric intro. Synths laying the foundation for what you\u2019d think is a ballad, then Geiste\u2019s vocals coming in you\u2019d think it was a ballad. But\u2026 No. The drums drop in with an arpeggiated bassline, which stutters through the track, giving the track a real nice touch, I love the way that this track uses unconventional instrumentation until the piano comes in for the breakdown. It takes you on a bit of a soundscape journey, the synth intro sets the tone, and the 808 drums give it edge, you could imagine this being remixed into a stomping EDM track too. What I like about this is the fact that it moves and stops giving Geiste\u2019s vocals space to really shine, and the harmonies give it a really nice touch. I like the use of bigger drums to punctuate the chorus, and the outro of \u201cOut there\u2026\u201d being sung really gets you. Bottom line, I love it. It\u2019s a dark track, don\u2019t expect it to be a love song, it\u2019s just not\u2026 It\u2019s a song that gives a voice to things that are probably considered taboo still which is sad, but in a day and age where things need to be spoken about then this is the way forward, and I hope Geiste gives more of a voice to the unheard with her platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So\u2026 Who is she? Well she\u2019s from the south of France (I\u2019m really not jealous\u2026), she\u2019s been on my radar since the release of \u201cAlibi\u201d back in October, and has definitely caught the ear of Deezer, BBC Introducing having played for them live. She has an EP coming out which is where this is from and all I can say is keep an eye out you will not be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
