Music doesn’t always need a particular ethos behind it or a striking lyrical concept. Sometimes, it just provides a relaxing, hypnotising background, helping the keen listener wind down and relax after a stressful day. ‘The Calm’ fits that very same purpose. A soothing and lush instrumental gem, the track sees American creative KB-S embark on a guitar-packed sonic journey encompassing chill-out and lo-fi hip-hop, eventually finding its own path forward as a uniquely placed sonic nugget.
Seeing as the world is increasingly moving towards dangerous territories, people like KB-S help us deal with it, offering a sanctum of hope and stillness in an overly gloomy and deceptive reality. ‘The Calm’ delivers a stunning listening experience, wrapping listeners in rounded, heartwarming tones and a certain summer-laden freshness, a quality that’s perfect for the upcoming season.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the piece, KB-S explains: “‘The Calm’ was created as a piece with limited movement and subtle adjustments by design to emulate the gentle waves of the ocean caressing the beach at night and give lovers of multiple genres something to sit back and relax to.”
