The new song by LA-based singer-songwriter Kairvina, “Pirates,” is a beautiful piece of indie music that blends a mix of introspective lyrics with a unique vocal texture and pop music that transports the listener to a world far from their own. The track has a laid-back, dreamy vibe that is enhanced by the mix of different instruments and the use of location-based noise samples.
One of the standout features of the track is the use of location-based noise samples. The sounds of waves crashing, cars honking and wind blowing add to the overall ambience of the song and also create an ethereal soundscape for the quieter sections of the song. The incorporation of these sounds into the track adds an extra layer of depth, making it feel more immersive and is also a nod to the title of the track.
The mix of the track is also noteworthy. The instruments are blended seamlessly, creating a sound that is both full and spacious and makes good use of the stereo bandwidth. The piano work is particularly impressive, with its intricate chordal progressions and dreamy pads to compliment the harmonies. With little to no percussion, the song mostly relies on Kairvina’s soaring vocals to propel it forward.
An offering to friendship and love by Kairvina
The lyrics of the song are equally impressive. The introspective and personal lyrics by Kairvina explore themes of loneliness, self-discovery, and the power of friendship. The chorus, in particular, is a beautiful and memorable moment in the song. The line “It’s never easy, of that I’m certain, but somehow you made it seem so normal” captures the essence of the song perfectly, encapsulating the idea that even though life can be difficult, love can make everything feel okay. The song is an offering to the artist’s elder brother who stuck with her through thick and thin.
The song would fit well into indie movies with dreamy and introspective themes, such as “500 Days of Summer” and “Moonlight”. The whimsical lyrics and catchy sound would also make it a perfect fit for a movie like “Amélie”, which is known for its quirky and charming soundtracks.
In conclusion, “Pirates” is a beautiful and unique indie track that is well worth a listen. Kairvina (and her pet turtle) are indeed the next upcoming act to watch out for in the California and Mumbai Indie music scene.
