The keen reader might remember French singer and songwriter Ray Van D, being that we featured him on our pages not long ago. Writing about one of his previous singles ‘The Little Girl’, we proudly declared: “a relatable, gentle yet immersive piece, a poignant and friendly gem that we are confident will connect with many listeners out there, especially in our turbulent times.”
Now, Ray Van D teams up with fellow creative Philippe M for another stunning slice of evocative music, ‘What Mothers Do’. In comparison, the new record is way more eclectic and kaleidoscopic, blending a healthy amount of electronic textures into an already pop-filled package, particularly reflecting the relatable and grounding vocal tone the track seems to be enjoying.
Themed around Mother’s Day, the song is a heartwarming pop gem, able to connect with even the most apathetic of listeners. We already praised Ray Van D’s warm and gritty vocals, but we’ll do it again – they really bring the song together, extending a hearty embrace to everyone that’s listening. Echoing 1970’s vibes, the arrangement is the perfect fit for such welcoming lyricism, signalling Philippe M’s high-level musicianship.
