Soaring

Soaring

"Soaring" is a song that captures the emotional depth of blackened shoegaze. The track, by the French project Soaring, is the title track of their debut EP, and it has been praised for its ability to balance heaviness with beauty. According to a review on Boolin Tunes, the project dives unapologetically and successfully into the blackgaze sound, pondering the universal and existential.

The song opens with a reflection on loss. "When the love goes / I can feel like / I will never be the same again / And I tell myself / Don't erase yourself / You could be the one who flies up again." It is a song about the way that love can change you, about the hope that you can rise again.

The production is full of the kind of wall-of-sound guitars and reverb-drenched vocals that define the genre. It is the kind of song that rewards a loud listen, where the emotion can be felt. The music swells and recedes like waves, carrying the listener through a landscape of sound.

The lyrics are sparse but powerful, focusing on the idea of not erasing yourself, of being the one who flies up again. It is a message of hope, delivered with a sound that is both heavy and beautiful. The vocals are delivered with a kind of dejected intensity that matches the music, blending clean and harsh tones in a way that is both unsettling and cathartic.

The EP as a whole has been praised for its ability to create a sense of atmosphere, and "Soaring" is a strong example of that approach. It is a song that rewards patience, the kind of track that reveals new layers with each listen.

For a reviewer, "Soaring" is a strong example of the emotional potential of blackgaze. It is a song about loss, about the hope of rising again, and it is delivered with a sound that is both heavy and beautiful. It is a track that rewards repeated listens, and it is a worthy addition to the genre.
