Emerging multi-faceted pop singer-songwriter and producer Krispy DeRato caught our eyes and ears with her newest release "Metamorphosis of the Mind. The self-produced record is a gripping multi-genre piece that blends dark-pop, and electronic elements with her own unique twist. The production is ripe with moody synths and arpeggios that sound like a score of an '80s sci-fi thriller and it slowly builds with soft drum grooves and chilly textures. In the vocal department, Krispy plays into the urgency of the canvas with her soft, airy melodic runs and profound lyrics that dive into the concept of inner demons and the almost never-ending fight to secure one's sanity. The lyrics are chilling and vivid as she sings "
“All around me, your authority
You bring out these insecurities
It is taking control of my
Grasp on this reality
To assume that I could ever see
What was never really meant to be"
The visual concept crafted by Dylan J. Henderson is quite original as it makes use of an excellent storyboarding technique using indirect framing. Viewers get to see different phases of Krispy's character as she goes through the gamut of emotions. From peaceful, frenzied and the in-betweens, the use of retro-visual effects and expressive performances also add a layer to the heartfelt story.
"Metamorphosis of the Mind" is lifted from KRISPY Disc One.
