There’s a great deal of meditative and cathartic energy in ‘Fade’. Enriched by a tapestry of ethereal soundscapes and cinematic textures, the track feels rather ethereal and angelic, fully capturing the nuanced artistry of talented songstress Shelita. Originally from Seattle and now based in Europe, the gifted singer and songwriter has teamed up with collaborators Bellringer and Lamar Von Sciver, unleashing a three-dimensional, resonant piece that’s as meaningful as it is sonically hard-hitting.
The listening experience is truly hypnotising; on one side, you’ve got an expansive and dreamy electronic production, on the other, you’ll reckon with Shelita’s luscious, timeless vocals, here delivering a tale of fleeting beauty and committed mindfulness. The goal is simple yet very relevant: empowering listeners to be authentic and present, making the most of every moment and living it to its fullest. Such a theme is rather important, especially in a society where attention has become a rare commodity.
As Shelita eloquently explains: “‘Fade’ is for anyone who’s ever lost someone, and for those who are aware that any meeting could be the last. It’s about embracing connection while we have it.” Overall, this is a wonderful effort by the American creative. Elegant, hazy and hypnotic: what more could you wish for?
