Malena Boccadoro‘s latest single, “Galaxies”, is a hauntingly beautiful and emotionally charged tribute to her deceased grandfather. Boccadoro’s raw and powerful vocals float effortlessly above a musical arrangement that is both simple and controlled, creating a feeling of wanting, accepting, and healing.
From the very first note, “Galaxies” captures the listener’s attention, drawing them in with barely audible harmonies and a chilly mallet sound that serves as a perfect backdrop for Boccadoro’s vocals. The song is expertly produced, with layers of synths and pianos that create an ocean of sound, and distorted drums that add an extra layer of texture.
But it’s Boccadoro’s voice that steals the show. With a dark richness that’s haunting and comforting, she effortlessly delivers the song’s emotional message, grappling with the loss of her grandfather and searching for answers.
In a recent interview, Boccadoro said that “Galaxies” is her personal favourite song that she’s written, and it’s easy to see why. The song is a testament to her talent as a songwriter and a performer, and it’s clear that she poured her heart and soul into every note.
What sets “Galaxies” apart from other tribute songs is its universality. While the song is dedicated to Boccadoro’s grandfather, it speaks to anyone who has lost someone close to them. As she sings about missing her grandfather and looking for answers, the listener can’t help but feel a sense of empathy and understanding. It’s a song that captures the universal experience of grief and loss, and it does so in a way that’s both poignant and cathartic.
Overall, “Galaxies” is a stunning new single from Malena Boccadoro. She’s crafted a musical tribute which is deeply personal and universally relatable, and she’s done so with a level of talent and artistry that belies her young age. If “Galaxies” is any indication, Boccadoro is an artist to watch, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
