FEATURED RELEASE
‘Too Little, Too Late’, ‘Rich & Beautiful’ and ‘Walls’ by Zita Barbara are out now and available to stream on ReverbNation! Although Zita has been compared to the likes of Sia, each of her featured singles showcase her unique and diverse compositional ability and writing style. Check out a preview for each track below!
‘Too Little, Too Late’ lasts around four minutes and sits at 68bpm. The track commences with a twelve second introductory section that features a memorable piano progression and soulful guitar line. Zita Barbara’s vocal color flows seamlessly with the smooth vibe of the instrumentation. The song was written about the pain felt when “the one that got away reappears after a struggle to move on”. Cinematic strings are added to the mix as the single progresses; lifting the instrumental intensity and complimenting the impressive vocal performance. From the well balanced production to the earworm of a chorus, you’ll definitely want to check this track out!
‘Rich & Beautiful’ lasts around three and a half minutes and sits at 70bpm. The single begins with a twenty-one second intro that builds a sense of anticipation for the verse. The steady beat combines with the phased electronic layers and melodic keys to provide the perfect platform for the vocal line. An instrumental section from around 2:43 to 2:58 delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversity to ensure that this single is engaging from start to finish. The track speaks about “pop culture’s insatiable desire to become Rich & Beautiful…a modernized version of Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ [and is] set to a beat made for the fashion runways.”
‘Walls’ lasts three minutes and forty-two seconds and sits at 160bpm. Described as “Enya-meets-pop-rock”, this single was written as an internal dialogue that refers to the “walls” that we build over time to “prevent us from getting hurt”. The contrast between the stripped back, atmospheric verses, that feature an emotive vocal performance, contrast perfectly with the upbeat, rhythmic vibe of the proceeding sections; check out the transition between 0:45 to 0:55. By the time this single draws to a close, you’ll find yourself humming along with the catchy hook and in need of hitting that repeat button for another listen.
From the diverse instrumentation to the authentic vocal performance and writing style, fans of Zita Barbara, as well as those who appreciate new music, will definitely want to check out all three of her singles.
