Larik - 'Limbo'
Larik tries on aching balladesque influences on brooding single, ‘Limbo’
Driven by a moody piano melody, Larik’s ‘Limbo’ is a lyric-led song that combines emotive balladesque influences with stirring , smouldering cinematic strings. Larik’s vocal effortless transitions between smooth, melancholic alternative r&b soulfulness akin to Sam Smith and a shivering, falsetto similar to Arnór Dan.
’Limbo’ shows off a more stripped and spacious sound from Larik who not only haunts his listener with his affecting vocal and production, but really hits home with his poignant lyrics, as he explores the themes of unrequited love, isolation, longing, regrets, heartache, while simultaneously touching upon the feeling that sometimes we can be our own worst enemy; “What if I could run away? What if I could find a way out the dark places in my mind, would I try?”.
’Limbo’ is a really touching offering from an authentic, multi-faceted artist whose heart on his sleeve style of songwriting makes vulnerability startlingly beautiful.
