Melody Alex. Patric – Army for peace
Melody Alex. Patric, the musical character of French artist Alexandra Debon, provides an engaging tune with “Army for Peace.” With a background in photography and a strong interest in the arts, Patric incorporates her thoughts on world problems into this composition, creating an atmospheric sound that combines parts of alternative rock and cinematic musica backgrounds. The song begins with hypnotizing cinematic percussion and ethereal, new-age synthesizers, resulting in an expansive and engaging attitude. As the vocals enter the mix, reverb effects enhance their sensitive tone, providing the early verses a mysterious feeling. Her voice is dreamy and expressive, similar to Kate Bush. However, when the chorus begins, her performance becomes more strong, matching the powerful tone of the track’s theme—a call for peace in a violent world. At 0:58, electric guitar notes appear, introducing depth and energy to the composition. The guitar’s presence increases the emotional tension, creating an effective support to the developing percussion. However, while the orchestration is rich, the percussion occasionally feels distant in the mix, and a more upfront, forceful drum sound could enhance the track’s depiction of conflict. Overall, “Army for Peace” is a strong creative statement by Melody Alex. Patric. Its theme delivered via dramatic changes and devoted vocal performances, makes for an attractive listening. With a little more emphasis on the drum production, this piece may have an even bigger effect, expressing the energy of its matter with full audio power.
