"Into The Sky" by Earthonika

02/02/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"Into The Sky"
Artist:Earthonika (CJ Williams)
Genre:New Age



What a refreshing young artist! Earthonika combines layers of his own vocals with instrumental arrangements to create a fun and refreshing new sound. His newest creation, "Into The Sky" demonstrates this perfectly. This relaxing new age production features smooth acoustic instrumentals samples while showcasing his exemplary ability to record multiple instances of his own vocals and then layer them together many times to create a harmonizing style of music reminiscent of Enya.

The lyrics leave the listening audience with the feeling the story is about a broken love, a love the story teller refuses to let go of in his own heart. Was it a breakup? Maybe he is just dreaming of a love he's never had. Is he pining? Is he dreaming? Has he passed on into another existence leaving her behind? The story leaves a lot to the imagination.

The video visuals are borrowed from someone else. Even though they are not his own, the imagery is very fitting for the song and is a perfect match.

The composition and arrangement of the music is great with lots of variety, yet it is always gentle and relaxed throughout the entire work. The production is superb with sharp crystal clear sound and absolutely no distortion or clipping.
