Ethereal and electrifying atmospheres that soar to the stratosphere, Fine Life’s latest single release ‘Moments’ is a genre-bending song that brings unforgettable energy.
A New York City based duo composed of powerhouse singer Elise Levin and her musical partner Kritty Kesoglides, Fine Life take considerable pride in being genre defying. Their latest single ‘Moment’ is a case in point. While being easy to describe as carrying significant traces of alternative rock, namely in its strong beats and grandiosity, ‘Moments’ is also rich in ambiance and features a prominently electronic core, and the caramel smooth, melodic vocals do land the song somewhere in pop territory as well. All in all, ‘Moments’, alongside all of Fine Life’s music, is fiercely distinctive, enjoyable, and lovingly crafted.
This song revolves around its dramatic and adventurous main chord sequence, a legendary one that can also be found on Chris Isaac’s ‘Wicked Game’ and London Grammar’s ‘Oh Woman, Oh Man’. A decidedly powerful progression that is extremely easy to paint over with different melodic ideas to reach any musical goal, Fine Life handled the progression with a blend of searing hot lead guitar lines and Levin’s long winded vocal phrases, both gentle and belted. The results are pit alongside a massive rock drum line with a number of gargantuan fills, a cloud of airy synth pads, all in a balanced and rewarding mix.
‘Moments’ is a song that showcases Fine Life’s deep and layered songwriting gift. A seemingly simple chord sequence taken and twisted around to become something unique and personal, Fine Life’s talents are in a gorgeous display on ‘Moments’.
