When approaching ‘Racunga’, the listening experience will be light, evocative and celebrative. Introduced by Jacobs’ intimate vocals, the record proceeds to grow in intensity and character, always maintaining a charming eclectic tone, oscillating between bucolic folk and soulful pop. Eventually, the keen listener will be mesmerized by the celestial acoustic guitars and the soothing nature of the track.
Quite a masterpiece by Sage of New England. Emerging from New York, the project is the collaboration between songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Matthew Hayes Jacobs and producer Justin Tracy. The duo has been working together on their music for over 5 years, and their experience shows in the quality of their work. ‘Racunga’ anticipates a larger release, expected later this year.
The short bursts of electronic elements during the track add a lot of magical texture to an already stunning piece. We are really looking forward to seeing where the project is going next: it doesn’t happen every day so come across such gifted and talented creatives. Sage of New England don’t only possess highly advanced musical prowess; they also have the artistic imagination to make it work, and the inspiration to make it mean something.
Lyrically, the song seeks to empower listeners in becoming their best selves, and it does so through the metaphor of ‘Racunga’: a fictional spirit created by Jacobs, helping awaken the generosity, compassion, and adventure in our hearts.
