“Reflections” review by Activeminded©

I have known Australian based Marie Craven for a couple of years now and have grown to love her voice. This offering with Max Waves (who I am new to) shows off her vocal talent to the fullest potential.

Max Waves is Italian born producer with “classical influences” that is clearly evident in his musical score and structure, but there is something else going on with he music as too.
While there are classical influences, I can hear echoes Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk in this creations.

An “unlikely” combination of Italian and Australian ingredients thrown into the mixing pot of sound, but does this work….

Yes…
“Perfectly”

It opens so innocuously, unassuming and with out any preconceptions of or its message to you. Just a beat and a Rhodes and deep bass line with some excellent pitching. Then the beats stop the bass pitches downward and the track unfolds beautifully. The vocal content is crystal clear, resonant and matches the chord progression with exquisite complimentary interaction.

Each verse and chorus sequence is structured perfectly and as the track continues to draw the listener in even deeper.

The haunting clarinet is an excellent choice and for the lead, its played in the high range, in back ground with some reverb to create the illusion of “calling at you from a distance” effect, and it works so well. Top marks for Max here because this is excellent work he has the interplay working very well with the root notes matching beautifully.

After the instrumental break and vocal solo you get a pleasant surprise, Marie kind of rap’s vocals in spoken word with heavy reverb (radio) which adds more to your listening interest and pleasure. This gives the track the nudge it so needs in the credibility stakes and makes the track current. It also demonstrates this duo’s nous music and gives the track credibility which can cross genre boundaries, and it will win vote’s from other producers and vocalists as well!!

If your looking for the morning after cure from the night before, or your just want to sit back with your hands behind your head and listen to some music, or your struggling to sleep, or your in the arms of your lover, this track fulfils all those requirements.

“Premium Quality and Stylish Electronic Production” Soulful ambience and a world class vocals. This track is a jewel amongst gems!!

Very highly recommended
