Audri‘s current album, “Swan Song,” is a masterstroke in addressing many societal stigmas that are presented at such an individual level that the song as a whole will overwhelm you with the issues highlighted. This is most likely a highly empowering record, as the intensity builds and the mood is fully dictated by Audri’s bold and unfiltered poetry. It takes a lot of bravery to write with such honesty about such heinous stories with such conviction and unadulterated authenticity. Furthermore, the song has a narrative, you actually have to listen to the song to understand and appreciate the vibe. Listeners who are interested in appreciating a storyline in songs will notice a significant amount of quality writing.
“Dear Ramona“, The album’s first track hits you hard. It’s the vulnerability that gives you the courage to say what’s on your mind. The song is personal, and it would resonate with anyone who has dealt with similar sentiments. The lyrics keep evolving, and with each phrase, fresh pictures appear, increasing the heat and making you sympathise with the figure depicted. The arrangements provide a rhythm that perfectly complements the narrative, with primary chords accompanied by Piano and Guitars. The string arrangement, in particular, enters at key emotional junctures, allowing for a smooth transition and momentum. The bridge’s crescendo is something to keep an eye out for. Despite having such a rich sound, the mix maintains clarity and never clutters the voice, ensuring that the vocals be heard clearly.
The album’s second track, “Happening“, amplifies the tension. The album’s colour shifts to a deeper, more sombre hue. The guitar riff, along with tom hits and strong bass, creates the right tone for increasing the intensity. The vocal performances are outstanding, and they are delivered with such vigour and emotion. To make the experience expressive, each word is given its rightful importance. The suspense rises as the song proceeds towards the conclusion portions, and when the pause occurs, there is time to gulp. Such mood transitions need a great deal of thinking and clarity. I suppose when the composition is good, it finally sets the tone for the arrangement and the overall direction of the song.
“Relax” is most likely the much-needed tranquilly following a significant increase in intensity. It brightens the mood, and as the song’s penultimate track, it certainly does its part to brighten the mood with a cheerful attitude to songwriting. The choices of instruments for the arrangements also reflect the same mindset. The sunny atmosphere is substantially enhanced by the E.Piano tone. The songwriting illustrates the importance of unwinding and living life in its most natural form. The song encourages to appreciate and live the small pleasures in life. The chord changes, in particular, contribute greatly to the song’s brighter and uplifting vibe. In a word, the story-oriented approach to songwriting is enthralling and adds to the depth of the writing and thinking. Listeners who immerse themselves in the writing will get the most out of it.
