Drawing us in with an ethereal synthscape with astral vocal ad libs, Rahmatou opens Wind Will Be Mine with dimensionality and a pulsating beat as she shares situational and metaphorical prose, creating a vivid and vibrant universe – or at least reminding us of the already beautiful planet that we live on!
In essence, Wind Will Be Mine manifests as a philosophical and heartfelt anthem about notions of freedom, strength and rebirth. The lyricism captures the beauty of overcoming obstacles and rediscovering one’s inner power.
It feels zeitgeist at a time when we need it the most. There is catharsis and optimism laced within, and Rahmatou turns a prevalent societal narrative of hopelessness around, offering light and purpose through her words and sound. We are in awe of her harmonies and the sublime echoes of the vocal production!
We learn that the song was written and recorded in Rahmatou‘s home state of Florida, where she confesses that the inspiration came suddenly, like the wind itself. Rahmatou describes feeling a gust of air on a hot day, and subsequently realizing that freedom could be a song. She confesses that this moment sparked the idea for the song, and within just thirty minutes, the foundation was laid.
There is a cinematic timelessness to the track, perfect for a range of sync deals – a coming of age TV show like My Life With the Walter Boys, or perhaps a Sofia Coppola movie. Truly, Rahmatou‘s authenticity shines through, and we have a feeling that anyone with air sign placements will be able to connect with the song too!
We have added Rahmatou‘s Wind Will Be Mine to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from the visionary, conscious artist.
