Ben Durkin – Paint The Walls
Ben Durkin’s “Paint The Walls” is a remarkable work that combines cinematic scale and neoclassical kindness. The tune begins with a peaceful, atmospheric arrangement, creating a sound that is both sensitive and strong. The vocal delivery, which is inspired by Loreena McKennitt, has a spooky beauty and fills the audio spectrum with luxurious, deep feelings. The groove is “fragile” but enveloping, and the inclusion of strings increases the track’s psychological impact, creating a sense of dark romance. Soft electric guitar tones, despite their low placement in the mix, provide an urban feel to the song, giving it a modern touch without “offending” its classical base. This combination of symphonic sounds and contemporary details turns “Paint The Walls” into a highly influencing and engaging listening experience.
