Wendy Wang’s soundscapes often seem more real than life itself. Despite her dreamy, surreal stylings, they immerse the listener in ways that transform moments and create real connections. That’s the appeal and allure of this artist. To bring to life, things that often exist behind a veil of touch. It can only be felt and sensed. Luring them into beautiful waves of melody and rhythms, she creates her own niche.
Her latest is ‘Never Be’, a track that is as light and lithe as air. And within its floating fabric is infused with dim, dreamy synths. They have that contemplative flow of midnight thoughts. It’s like the song carves out the time of day that people usually spend thinking about the most intimate things like soft passions, lost feelings, or in this case, an absent father.
Despite the seeming heartache, it is sparked with the romanticism of the protagonist, of that beautiful tragedy that forms in the wake of resigned acceptance. Wendy’s vocals are mellow, softly inflected and unravelling with sentiments. It is reminiscent of a blend of Taylor Swift’s lyrical style, Billie Eilish’s vocal aesthetic, and perhaps a very Sabrina Carpenter softness, shyness and vulnerability. The complexity of the theme, so gracefully imprinted in this vocal pool. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
