The keen reader will know that here at Mesmerized we have a keen eye for anything experimental, avant-garde, or leftfield. We enjoy witnessing talented artists scrambling the sonic recipe we all know, adding a fresh brick to the expansive wall of music culture. Manon Schlittler aka Nebno belongs to such a category. A gifted singer, musician, composer and producer, the Swiss artist can be described as a holistic creative, blending orchestral textures with crepuscular electronica, a healthy amount of field recordings and noisy sound design.
‘Love Is a Special Thing’ is the perfect evidence of that. A nuanced and intense offering, the track is introduced by industrial percussions and light flute-like soundscapes, then adding a carpet of string-powered goodness that’s uber-cinematic. Among such a compositional genius, Nebno develops a blissful and ethereal vocal tone, highly contrasting with the ‘earthy’ character of the surrounding piece.
Eventually, ‘Love Is a Special Thing’ explodes in pure catharsis, wrapping the listeners into heightened poignancy and offering an emotional output to a dark reality. Honestly, this record needs to be experienced first-hand. Do get into it – worth it.
Speaking about her phenomenal work, nebno explains: “‘Love Is a Special Thing’ invites us to embark on a journey through the heart’s labyrinth, where the clash of emotions beckons a choice. It invites us to embrace vulnerability and courage, as we navigate the eternal dance between passion and reason.”
