A gorgeous new release from Luana Sandoval delivers a warm set of tones with robust vocals that have a bit of power but a lot of passion behind them, which all come together like puzzle pieces, creating this beautiful atmosphere that you get pulled right into.
"Kiss Me Softly" is a sensual track that feels like it was most certainly pulled from someplace authentic.
The track does have plenty of pop sensibility with a bopping beat and colorful instrumentation at times, following that rhythm well.
There are also cellos laced across the single, pushing a bit more of a cinematic underbelly, and adding depth and new textures to the track so that it wraps itself around you and keeps you right where it wants to.
It's amazing how she was able to create a mood using that instrumentation.
That mood goes with the lyrics amazingly, and the whole thing is a bit of a love song, and Luana is certainly unafraid to get into detail and let some of those inner thoughts come spilling out for all to soak in.
She has a powerful voice and knows how to control it perfectly. Her approach gives such a dynamic balance of the entire song in a unique manner. It's beautifully done, and it feels like she's singing from the heart.
She's got this big vibrato to her vocals, and it adds a boisterous feel, even when she's singing more softly or delicately.
Now, there are parts of the song where she gets way more intense and starts belting out a little bit more. These are like emotional pushes. Those climactic elements are wonderfully performed and one of my favorite aspects about the track, simply because you don't expect it to go there, so when it does, it's kind of right in your face and again, very intense.
The song is put together with an amazing set of textures, tones, and layers. You can hear this reverb effect on her vocals, bringing that cinematic backbone out once again, and adding to that emotional sensation.
When she starts belting out with those immensely powerful vocals, the drumming also gets more intense as well. The crash symbols start getting louder, and the whole song rises in that aspect.
Those parts of the song feel almost edgy, in a sense. After that huge, climactic, and high-energy part, it exhales back down to the way it began.
It comes back to a calming moment. Once more, you can feel a little bit of that emotional pull coming back in, but in a different way.
Throughout the song, you have backing vocals that are a bit more distant and also add different melodies to the song.
With all the amazing instrumentation happening, you also have Luana herself using her voice as an instrument itself.
I definitely love this aspect of the track because once again, it adds a different texture to everything.
That back from vocal is drenched in reverb effect and performed gracefully.
Her approach to singing, especially on this track, is immense. She brings in those emotional rises and falls, and creates an atmosphere for you to get pulled into.
The way the tone of her voice blends with that cello is something that can give you goosebumps.
Those two elements alone make the song incredibly worth listening to.
But again, a lot is going on, plenty to chew on, the song is full-bodied, and definitely comes from some genuine place.
You can hear all of that in her performance alone.
I suggest listening to this track with headphones on because then you can soak in all of those layers amazingly.
If you like this track, I would suggest listening to her previous releases "Love Is Love" and "Pictures Fade Away", as they both showcase a different side to her personality and Artistry.
Luana Sandoval is an artist who puts pieces of herself into our music, and this track is a perfect example of exactly that.
Take a deep dive into this one and remember where you heard it first.
