The Gallego-Portuguese singer and songwriter Rumination Last Friday, a new single, “Shift in the Air”, which today premiere the video clip.
Finished in Berlin, Rumia has managed to provide her music with a combination of very subtle electronic and acoustic textures that she knows how to handle with a right hand. One more example is this “Shift in the Air”, which will be part of a second album that will be published next April and that follows the line marked by the artist from her first steps.
“Shift in the air” explores, according to the artist herself, a “disturbing scenario in which the protagonist, caught in a simulation, discovers that the loved person has disappeared from the world. During their usual journey home, everything begins to change: The book that reads on the bus is no longer the same, the favorite restaurant now sells plane models, and the familiarity of the environment is slowly crumbled. house, will that person continue there? “
Thus, the song is a reflection – with echoes to the artist’s referents as Mazzy Star, Radiohead or even Wolf Alice– On the loss and confusion that, in the hands of Rumia, is also loaded with vulnerability, connecting whoever listens to the song with its intentions.
