The EP

Pure I opens the EP like a personal call for ascension. Soft ambient synth pads swell beneath isolated piano notes, creating this feeling of slowly rising upwards. The otherworldly vocals make it sound like I’m about to meet Eywa underwater. Everything feels weightless here, suspended somewhere between a dream and a memory. Next, Pure II feels much bigger. The piano melody stretches out across the track while the vocals move between higher and lower notes. It sounds like somebody opening their eyes in space for the first time and seeing the Earth, the moon, the stars, and the Milky Way all at once. There is a sense of awe running through this track.

Pure III slows everything down. The spaces between the piano notes become just as important as the notes themselves. The sound lingers in the air before disappearing. This piece feels lonely. It makes me think of standing in the aftermath of something huge, maybe after a fire disaster, when the smoke is rising and ashes softly land on your cheek. Nothing is happening anymore, but you can still feel what happened before. Pure IV (feat. Mariamehr) introduces ethereal vocal textures that drift through the low piano chords. The vocals don’t really feel like singing here. They feel more like a voice carried by the wind. It sounds a lot like an awakening. A call for someone. There is almost a longing behind it, a request being made quietly and intimately into the distance.

The Pure V turns more reflective. The violin returns through long sustained notes that float above a repetitive piano pattern. Everything feels still. This is the kind of track where you just sit in your movie seat after finishing a film that completely changed your life. The credits are rolling, people are getting up to leave, but you’re planted in your seat, staring at the screen, unable to move. Pure II (Piano & Violin), the concluding piece, ties everything together. The piano and violin now move alongside one another, and it sounds like something is finally being resolved. The track feels deeper somehow. It feels like making eye contact with somebody across the room and instantly knowing they have something important to tell you. There is purpose behind every note.

As a whole, P U R E isn’t telling a story in the traditional sense. It is stripping things away. The piano, the silence, the resonance, the vocals aren’t there to tell you what to feel, but to give those feelings somewhere to exist. Everything seems designed to slow you down enough to notice your own thoughts and letting your own memories and images fill in the gaps between the notes.
