A cinematic, classic sounding record that has you imagining and picturing vast grasslands, landscapes rife with the best of nature, almost calling you into the gates of heaven itself, Steven Keene’s poignant ballad ‘Soon’ is an ode for a better tomorrow. His powerful yet subdued vocal performance is a definitive highlight, anchoring the theme of the entire piece. Around him, an arrangement that’s fundamentally drawing from classical instrumental to give it that peaceful and calming overtone. Each time he utters that titular word, you feel yourself transported into a better place, imagining all the hate and political unrest falling away.
It’s an incantation for hope, an anchor to hold onto while feeling despondent about today.
