It’s safe to say we’re a little bit excited about up-and-coming
London trio Honours. After the release of teaser track ‘Ready to Run’,
filled with pulsating energy, ‘Blue Light’ stumbles forth – quiet,
sedate, and dramatically different to the group’s first offering.
‘Blue Light’ is a track filled with subtlety and character. Deep,
brooding, padded bass mingle with a handsome piano part. This delicate,
all-encompassing piano offers perfectly constructed chord progressions
that compliment the track’s fragile, introverted vocals, that develop
together quietly for an impassioned yet palpably pained performance.
These vocals, rich with reverb and melancholy are the star of the track, with their smooth timbres and saddened lyrics. This is the first time we have heard such a modest vocal style from this group, and needless to say, we like a lot.
Clearly masters of subtlety, Honours have here released a slow-burning gem, which really develops in musical and emotional intensity, as calm and cold as the blue light of the track’s title.
