FEATURED RELEASE
‘Berlin Wall’ by Rofi James is out now and is available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The single lasts around three minutes and sits at 126bpm. The track was written by Ronan Flaherty, Jamie Murray and Joseph Flaherty, mixed and produced by Dave Skelton, and mastered by Fergal Davis (Muse, Republic of Loose, The Divine Comedy).
“Berlin Wall is about getting away from it all, longing for a break from the daily routine that one experiences when one is locked up, the familiar surroundings and the daily routine of living in a pandemic to escape in the hope of catching another glimpse of normalcy.”
‘Berlin Wall’ commences with thirty-one second introductory section that sets the tone and builds anticipation for the first chorus. The stylistic vocal color seamlessly synchronizes with the smooth vibe of the instrumentation. The systematic layering of harmonized backing-vocal elements adds a depth to the vocal line without detracting from the lyrical prominence.
The atmospheric keys combine with the steady beat, foundational bass and melodic electric guitar to provide the perfect platform for the vocal. A partial breakdown section from around 2:03 to 2:18 delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversity to ensure that this single is engaging from start to finish. By the time ‘Berlin Wall’ 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 impressive production and creative instrumentation, to the authentic vocal performance, fans of Rofi James, as well as those who appreciate new music, will definitely want to hear this single.
