RAHM - 'All the Life'
Rooted in glistening chill-pop, RAHM releases his otherworldly offering ‘all the life’.
Not many can create pockets of spooky ambience as well as RAHM. After a string of singles that rewarded him a mesmerised, loyal audience, the artist has returned with ‘all my life’ a track that bubbles with ghost-like atmosphere.
From the beginning, ‘all my life’ feels like it’s teetering on the edge of the supernatural. Beginning with soft piano chords, chilling acoustic trills and haunting string samples, the listener is instantly placed in the middle of a subtle, yet beautifully unnerving soundscape. Listening, you feel suspended in its atmosphere. However, this soon changes as RAHM’s magnetic vocals enter, instantly grounding the track in it’s emotional clarity.
"I always imagined I'd live a thousand lives. Not like a thousand reincarnations or anything, just a thousand different chapters of myself,” the artist explains. “But then life happens day after day and still I'm not taller than I was in high school and I still don't have a pair of Sketchers and I definitely don't have anything to do with Everest. And the fact is that I don't actually want to change, and that at any moment I'm totally terrified to leave my current chapter for some other one. I don't know how to reconcile those feelings. I think I was trying to sing this song.”
It’s an honesty that prevails through the chilling mist of sound, and hits the very core of consciousness. With ‘all my life’ RAHM has managed to create an ethereal, electrifying single that captures with it’s dreamy soundscape, and dazzles with its candidness.
