Drawing us in with a cerebral guitar detail and a sublime, acoustic soundscape, cellardoor.mp3 & just martin open Cold Rain October with an emotive timbre and the lyrics, “Cos’ you, you’re lying straight to my face, girl you just fucked up for sure, don’t tell me that you are ok with everything that you have said, your ego is thinking for you…”
We are immediately captivated by the authenticity, relatable message and poetic prowess that the duo embody as they bring to life a tale that many of us have experienced in the past. The essence of the track is heartfelt and real, we also appreciate the metaphorical depth that manifests with the lyrics.
The emotive build of the track is transcendental as we are brought deeper into the feelings of the creators with a percussive build and textured drums. Layered harmonies amplify the ethereal nature of the track and it brings to life a cinematic allure.
Cold Rain October is no doubt perfect for Hollywood synch deals, perhaps a scene in a TV show like Euphoria on HBO, or Elite on Netflix, where the characters are embodying the narrative of the track itself.
The self-aware creators tell us, “Our songwriting is deeply emotional and honest — what inspires us the most is expressing raw, real feelings without filters.” They cite Post Malone and Kid Laroi as sonic influences, which we can understand, but it is clear that cellardoor.mp3 & just martin are creating something uniquely their own.
Naturally, we have added Cold Rain October to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we anticipate future solo and collaborative releases from cellardoor.mp3 & just martin.
