Tuesday ∆ Forgiveness - Jessy N. Bademagresto

I don't know where everyone reading this blog lives, but for central New Jersians (keep in mind this was written last Tuesday), it was rainy and cold today. Which is why I present you with the warming track, Forgiveness by Jessy N. Bademagresto.

This comforting folk track sounds as if B A S E C A M P, Seal, and some elements of Bon Iver (I regret saying that) came together and formed one track. R&Besque vocals glide through the noodled acoustic guitar and float over the subby bass to create a comforting atmosphere.

Although Bademagresto comes from France, the vocal tone and scale in this song reminds me of something middle eastern. His voice has this hiss to it that cuts right through the sound waves and grabs your attention. As the song progresses and he hits those longer notes, you realize just how powerful his vocals are. It also sounds like there are two samples of his voice going at once with a slight delay between the two. This really adds a ghostly effect that which emphasizes what seems to be the most important and repeated phrase in the song "here I am".

 After some glorious singing some strings enter the scene and just compliment the guitar fantastically, adding some great energy. Overall the atmosphere produced is great for those cold rainy late fall days. It made me want to curl up in a window sill chatting with Siri staring out into the rain like Zooey DeChanel in that oldish Apple commercial. But, aside from that, give Bademagresto some follows and likes on his tracks on soundcloud to give this bro some recognition.
