The meaning and beauty of sorrow
Vermillia is one of those one-of-a-kind artists who pursue their own vision regardless of genres and classifications. A musical as well as visual concept - concise collections of intensely evocative instrumentals, with very pretty hand drawn covers that depict Anime style female figures and faces.
"Where there is Sorrow, there is holy ground", Oscar Wilde writes in De Profundis. "Some day people will realise what that means. They will know nothing of life till they do". As the composer himself admits, Vermillia's music is inspired by sadness, by the darkness that nestles in the human soul; and (although this may appear contradictory at first sight) the vivid shades of red and purple on his album covers somehow intensify the feeling, guiding the listener to visualise the passion itself of this sadness, the profundity of sorrow and grief.
The sound has greatly evolved and improved in quality compared to Vermillia's previous albums: it has become ample, crisp and assured, even more atmospheric and charged with emotions. A lush perfume in a small elegant bottle, this new single is highly promising for the artist's quest and development - and in spite of its melancholic disposition, a true pleasure to listen to.
