Establishing the mood with a cosmic, shimmering energy, expanding with a meditative synth and lo-fi hip-hop drums, Tony Frissore opens Self Soothe with dimensionality and a conscious frequency. Cerebral, atmospheric ad-libs invite us to breathe in and breathe out.
The beat switches up to a more stripped back as melodic keys tap into a transcendental vibe before a luscious and emotive key change. It is subtle and serene, encouraging us to ascend. The intentional breath work reminders return as a celestial synth brings about an angelic vibe.
The eventual breakdown of the song is serene and truly leave us yearning for more. We appreciate the high emotional and spiritual quotient of the piece at a time when we, as a society, need it the most. In that sense, the conscious nature feels highly zeitgeist.
Speaking on the release, Tony confesses, “I wanted to create something that doesn’t just sound relaxing, but actively helps people regulate their breathing. Self Soothe is meant to be a small pocket of peace you can return to whenever you need grounding.”
The track is perfect for a vinyasa, hatha or yin yoga class, or just when you need a moment to connect with yourself and the universe in the peace and tranquility of your own home. There is no doubt that Self Soothe is a calming, ambient experience that perfectly supports breath-work, relaxation, and easing into the day with a clear, grounded mind.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Self Soothe to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, as well as our personal mediation playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Tony Frissore, including Stand for Freedom, and Just Fade Away.
