It’s an exciting time for Atomic Cherry‘s musical endeavour. Hailing from Istanbul, the talented songstress and producer has unveiled her debut effort ‘Somewhere in Between’, a dreamy, expansive piece that goes a long way in introducing us all to the project’s reflective, visionary universe. Known as Ece by day, Atomic Cherry is solely responsible for the creative process, making for a record that sounds exactly like she envisioned it.
Hypnotic and otherworldly, the record does a great job of creating a leftfield aural space that feels weightless and ethereal. Atomic Cherry’s vocals are delivered with the utmost elegance, often engaging in sublime, goddess-like melodies, at other times focusing on tender whispering. Such suggestive sonic imagery is the perfect match for the song’s lyrical charge, and it does evoke this idea of emotional limbo, a place where one might feel stuck, yearning for a diverse, more fulfilling path.
Delving deeper into the meaningful ethos that propels the record, we are told: “It is about inner conflict, exhaustion and the quiet frustration of wanting change while struggling to move forward”. We suspect listeners will truly relate to Ece’s introspective songwriting, and in that sense, ‘Somewhere in Between’ may also function as a cathartic release of sorts, a way to internalise hope and discomfort, to then hopefully reach acceptance and renewal.
