Persephone Darke is based in Seattle, WA, and the new song "Song Title" is a cinematic example of stunning vocals and soul. One thing that will be immediately evident from the get-go is the vocals. It is staggeringly only the second release from the outfit, but if you ask me, this sounds like it has all the hallmarks of a modern soul classic.
... a spellbinding slice of modern soul
With fewer than 200 monthly listeners on Spotify, I'm absolutely baffled that this song is not going viral, as it has everything going for it. It features smooth bass lines and crisp, slow percussion that caresses the cinematic strings, still leaving you weak at the knees. In places, it even sounds like the kind of track that could soundtrack a spy thriller. It's elegant, it's mesmerising, and I was sold well before the halfway point.
There is no denying, once again, that the vocals are the main attraction here. Even though the track is less than four minutes long, by the time you finish it, you'll feel like you've made a new best friend—an artist to truly get stuck into. Although, sadly, there is only one other track available on Spotify, do your best to follow Persephone Darke on all their socials to ensure you don’t miss a single release from this stunning artist, who sounds like they're destined for big things. Once again, it showcases just how strong and versatile the music scene is in Seattle.
