"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else / but here..."
The pulsating beauty, like nature itself, of "Black Coffee" by Sasha & the Bear, Brooklyn good friends Sasha Daniel (singer, songwriter, producer) and Dov Igel (songwriter, producer and singer) is fueled by picking guitar sparkles like midnight stars, howling / bending electric guitar trails like comets and beautiful ambient senses as a framework for Sasha's and Dov's gorgeous vocals, taking turns and coming together as well. About this beautiful, evocative song they share:
"During our last meeting we found ourselves reminiscing over our teenage years and listening to a lot of music from our past. We both really love this All Saints album and decided to give this song a melancholic twist that brings the lyrics and melody to the front and thus makes it hit in a completely different way. We believe it could touch many people with its simplicity and softness."
I love the way the vocal melodies move in complex ways, dances, rushing to only stand still, clipping until sustaining. Letting the emotional embraces and push offs create lovely tensions, even gentle anxieties and then relieving realizations. As you listen to the loveliness, scroll down and read their about story. Told in time lines, it highlights highs and lows, the passing of time, the passing of a loved one and the absolute miracle of having the best of friends to hold onto close and even from afar.
