What happens when you blend sensual vocals and James Bond soundtrack moodiness? Rachel Ruzumna’s single, “Casanova.”
Opening with solo snare, jazz-inspired percussion, a haunting piano melody, and pounding bass, the tone of Casanova is dark and intimate. Rachel’s vocal range transports the listener on an emotional journey. Showing off her raspy mid-range tone, clear interval jumps into her upper register, and her sultry lower range, Ruzumna showcases her talents in this track.
“Say its love if he comes back to me / So go around town / I don’t mind / 'Cause when you come back / You’re all mine.”
Reminiscent of Fiona Apple, this track draws the listener in as the instrumentals set the mood. Percussive improvisations intertwine with dark piano chords and evocative lyricism. Ethereal backing vocals create an air of mystique as the song builds. A crescendo of emotion rises as Ruzumna begins to belt and the chorus cascades into focus.
“I got all the feels / Tell me what the hell is real / I got all the feels / My little Casanova's tryna steal.”
The instrumentals withdraw as the second verse arrives, allowing the vocals to shine. Wavering suspended chords support the melodic line as the bridge emerges. Effortless vocal slides and the melodic line of the piano define the outro of the track, making the listener yearn for more.
