The recent release of Naeli, a Paris-born artist, “En Passant” (“By the Way”), from the lively second album, is staying on the French music scene to surprise and enchant the listeners once again.
This time, Naeli is not just known for her soulful lyrics but also for her mesmerizing stage performances. She again proved that she could grow and attract her audience.
From her hit song “Toi La Bas,” which marked the beginning of her musical career, her new release is a significant stylistic breakthrough. She steps away from the plain acoustic of the first record in favour of a soundscape that involves a much richer musical nature.
“En Passant” continues to establish itself as the finest example of sound similarity. Naeli’s sound has become more profound and refined, merging the straightforward acoustic arrangements of past songs with her unrivalled creativity.
Naeli’s creative lyrics are highlighted effortlessly, with the music supporting her expressive vocals without taking over the whole scene, making her words the main act on the stage.
Her voice – eerie but remarkable, clear as day – follows the mood and atmosphere of the songs precisely, creating goosebumps when needed. The contrast between her usual vocal pitch and the modulation in this song ups the shivers in the narration.
She touches your heart with her reflection, leading you on a spiritual journey into her artist’s soul.
The cadence of “En Passant” is quite remarkable when you listen to it. The song involves some thumping rhythm, which, if listening attentively, will likely notice certain rhythmic elements ebbing and flowing in a way that portrays the lyrical themes of vanishing and creatures.
The track’s sonic balance becomes more dynamic and appealing, this time evidence of Naeli’s creative ingenuity and experience with new sound textures.
This is a very creative way that widens her listening area and emphasizes the feeling of her work, producing a thought-provoking album.
