Synth Single Review: “So High” by Love Spirals Downwards

by Karl Magi

Love Spirals Downwards’ “So High” brings in the silken breathiness of Anji Lum’s voice as the smooth drums create late-night energy and a soft groove while the airy sensuality of Anji Lum’s voice is wrapped around Ryan Lum’s guitar which strums with sultry emotion. The lyrics send a message of being lifted up so high that you'll never come down again.

Vocals like velvet caress as a saxophone in the distance seductively swirls, enfolding Anji Lum’s atmospheric tenderness while Ryan Lum casts a spell of deep attraction and midnight calm. I find myself gliding on a cloud of diamond-like brilliance, surrounded by hazy sensations while Anji Lum’s vocals take me on a tranquil journey.

The music reflects a passionate mood and a chilled out sensibility, perfect for relaxation and dreaming, tinged with a hint of melancholy emotion to balance the sailing, graceful sensation within the music.
