Setting the tone with lo-fi keys and faded, textured vocals, V-Train gives us dimensional and emotive production for his fourth single, Cold World.
The song takes us on a journey form nostalgia to the future and also samples “Melange” The Casual Brothers feat. Ayla. Speaking on his art and the track, V-Train says, “I write songs that depict the current mood I’m in. I’m not a fan of sad songs, but I feel that I’m at my best when I write them because it’s from my heart.”
The song, albeit only 2 minutes 39 in length, has distinguished sections which makes the song unique and dimensional.
Inspired by “lo-fi Hip-Hop”, the song also features a fade out, something quite rare in songs today, giving Cold World that nostalgic edge. We love the emotion in the keys and the textured use of the vocal samples which really elevate the multi-dimensionality of the track.
When discussing the theme of the song, V-Train says, “The song is about the feeling of despair and depression from all the calamities of the world and trying to find comfort in the smallest things.”
Cold World is featured on our New Music Spotlight playlist and you can also stream V-Train‘s wider discography, including Missing You, The Fall and Gloomy Morning on all platforms!
