Incredibly poignant and cathartic, ‘Everest’ is a slice of cathartic energy, a poignant ballad with a fragile yet fierce character, wrapping the listener into a relatable, anthemic state of mind – the kind you’ll be in after hearing such a gem. Penned by Ukrainian songstress Janeuary, the record finds its personality in a majestic orchestral arrangement propped up by an ethereal piano and a sea of long violins.
Such an elegant sonic picture gifts the song lots of gravitas and charisma, allowing it to gently lull the listener into artistic glory. Janeuary’s evocative and stunning vocals crown the song perfectly, boasting their controlled, luscious tone; yet able to explode into a powerful chorus when you least expect it.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, she explains: “This song is not about the mountain, it is about a man. The singer says that everyone has their own Everest.” Finding the courage to write about positivity and love in the middle of a raging war, Janeuary confirms her talent and songwriting ability – looking forward to hearing more.
