5 minutes and 53 seconds. That’s how long “Secrets,” an enchanting remix that sufficiently blends indie rock and electronic music is. These are over 5 minutes of pure bliss as music producer Kim Castle and the band Harmony Drive offer a rare yet captivating musical experience. Hauntingly beautiful, magical, and memorable are some words I’d use to describe this tour de force that leaves you thoroughly gratified but still craving more.
The music is compelling and unforgettable, and “Secret” achieves exactly that. Taking the stunningly captivating original, Kim Castle and Harmony Drive elevate it to new levels with this infectious remix. The skillful execution of the music complements the songwriting and vocal prowess.
The hauntingly gentle piano sets a mellow tone, laying a smooth foundation. The lead vocalist, Lars Erik Schjerpen, breathes life after the 30-second mark, his expressive voice beautifully complementing the dulcet instrumental foundation underneath him.
The song’s patience is evident as each note, rhythm, and melody, meticulously crafted, envelops the listener in a warm embrace. As we approach the 3:15 mark, the upbeat and energetic electronic beats are skillfully ushered in, adding depth and intensity to the music and also accentuating the elegant weight of the music.
Iconic music producer Rich Veltrop, who has worked with international acts such as Rage Against the Machine, Macy Gray, Tom Petty, and Ozzy Osbourne, was also involved, lending his expertise to this masterpiece that is guaranteed to stand the test of time.
“Secret” seeks to uncover the mysteries that lie beneath and serves as an ode to the vulnerability and power involved in sharing confidential matters.
Masterfully produced and deftly executed, this is a memorable tune. The seamless blend of two brilliant genres makes it extra appealing.
