Introduced by a rather cinematic and trip-hop string sample, ‘Castles In The Sky’ is quite a charming creature. Evolving slowly from a sombre and melancholic anthem into a dance-powered banger, the song is crowned by Simfonia’s elegant and evocative vocals, powerful and extremely hypnotising. The chorus represents the pivotal point of the piece, both in a sonic and lyrical direction. Boasting wonderful vocal harmonies and an ever-rising rhythmical tension, it also delves into the introspective territories that served as Simfonia’s inspiration for such a stunning tune.
Explaining the creative process behind the track, the British talent explains: “The past year, I was going through an identity crisis. My mental health overshadowed my creative workflow and I just had to slow things down. One day my creativity block drove me to a spot outdoors by the South Coast where I would just let my mind dream of wanting to chase a dream, no matter how impossible.”
Such an ambient texture and rich orchestration mirror the wide open space and the sense of universal force that Simfonia must have felt during her explorations. A sentiment that the listeners will likely be able to grasp too, transported by the majestic energy the record seems to emit.
