An affecting, serene pop sound unveils on “Satellite,” the new single from Sherakai, the new project from producer/songwriter Jordan Sherman. He describes the atmospheric, melodic track as “about following someone you trust to the ends of the Earth.” Flickering acoustics and soulful vocal glimpses kick off the track with an inviting soundscape, as Sherman’s vocals move in seamlessly with lyrical references to awakening in a garden and taking “time to let it grow.”
This blissful contemplative state then ruminates on a period “before the pain, before the wars” and also ensuing self-discovery. A climactic vocal ascent stirs here, as does the “follow your satellite” culmination — framing this point of affection with satellite-like comforting proximity, bolstered by a warming, soulful vein of pop that emphasizes harmonious vocals and dreamily approachable instrumentation. “Satellite” is a thorough delight from Sherakai.
The track comes via Sherakai’s self-titled album, streaming below:
