Emerging from Paris, Ray Van D brings with him his latest single, ‘The Little Girl,’ a hauntingly beautiful and kaleidoscopic ballad that speaks to the heart of the ongoing war in Ukraine. The song features Ray’s soulful vocals, Yoed Nir’s emotive strings, and Philippe M’s powerful musical score. Mixed and mastered by Giovanni Cordova, the production quality of this song is simply astounding.
The record is the result of remote collaboration – in fact, all the talented individuals involved in the track’s production have never really met! What matters though, is the alchemy between them, allowing them to craft 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.
Lyrically, the song focuses on the tragedy of war, exploring the pain and suffering experienced by many innocent lives. Mirroring a young and fragile picture of a creature getting caught in the crossfire, ‘The Little Girl’ shares the frustration of being powerless in a critical situation. The haunting and sombre tone serves to underscore the gravity of it all, perhaps leaving a lasting impact on the listener.
A powerful record – give it a chance, you won’t regret it.
