The Forever Now - 'Reciprocals' (feat. Lauren Austin) (Cinematic Version)
The Forever Now and Lauren Austin team up to deliver evocative indie synth pop on ‘Reciprocals’ (Cinematic Version)
If you’re looking for emotive, string-laden, swelling indie pop, combined with sweet male/female vocal harmonies and poetic lyrics then look no further than ‘Reciprocals’. The track pairs spacious narrative-driven segments with emotive layers of sound, teasing tension and drama in and out of the song with maximum impact. There’s real beauty here, not only in the soundscape, but in the vulnerable and heartfelt lyrics.
“Reciprocals is about coming to terms with the fact that your own flaws and insecurities are the cause of the end of a relationship, and that staying together is only damaging both parties further. “
In its original working, ‘Reciprocals’ features futuristic synthesisers and drum machines, offering a powerful, contemporary take on electronic pop. As well as the cinematic version, ‘Reciprocals’ has also been reworked as a piano version, adding a minimalist, soft and exposed touch to the track which is thoroughly haunting. You can listen to all three versions below!
