Backstrom – From The Ashes (feat. Bart Topher)
Backstrom’s “From The Ashes,” starring Bart Topher, is a heartbreaking song that mixes real emotion with stripped-down music. The tune begins with a simple but attractive piano melody, which sets an insightful mood before the raw, unprocessed vocals take center stage. His voice is sensitive and mature, which contrasts wonderfully with the melodic piano notes, creating a strange and melancholic atmosphere. As the song develops, the inclusion of acoustic guitar at 3:24 enhances the arrangement, progressively improving the singer’s storytelling journey. The warm tones of the guitar compliment the piano, offering an organic structure that increases the piece’s psychological impact. The dark, romantic atmosphere created by the combination of vocal, piano, and guitar gives “From The Ashes” the sensation of a strongly personal and private confession. The production lets each piece to breathe while focusing on the genuine vocal performance. This produces an atmosphere making “From The Ashes” an emotional listening experience.
