‘Cut Me Down’ is a mesmerisingly beautiful and bewitching dream pop ballad. Austel’s simply magnetic vocals keep you hooked in her trance but it’s the serene yet building nature of the arrangement that has you wholly captivated, completely enthralled by the opulence and grandeur of the whole piece. Powerful and gleaming synths, a majestic central vocal performance, and a constant interweaving of piano alongside drums make for this varied and multi-coloured canvass of sounds that’s bound to reel you in and have you in awe of this masterpiece building around you.
Building off this central theme of ‘love lost and lessons learned‘ it’s the perfect post heartbreak song that has you reminiscing, empathising, acknowledging, but also moving forward as a better person.
