Soft Streak is the singer songwriter duo of Tori Michelle and Colton Toy based out of Los Angeles and their track Wallow is a beautiful chill sleeper of a song. If it were playing in the background at a club it might, at first, just poke on your shoulder like a mellow indie pop song as pleasant background fodder. As it seeps into your psyche you will feel its full embrace. It does have an almost light jazz pop vibe but as the song moves along Michelle's vocals punctuated with bouncy melodic waterfalls also feels torn and bruised and then, surprisingly, the song shifts into an ending crescendo that shifts gears with shades of harder indie (pop) rock before ending. That tone shift leaves you wanting more.
Wallow is part of a two song project including Oranges and you can hear both below.
From Soft Streak:
"Both Wallow and Oranges are about dealing with your emotions in reference to relationships at different stages. While Wallow is about unrequited love and reveling in sorrow/self-pity, Oranges is about admitting to yourself that maybe your relationship with a loved one has taken its course. Both songs are about being alone with your unresolved emotions and generally feeling alone".
(Both songs are up on Spotify)
