Hailing from Ukraine, Janeuary is an artist and composer who draws on her classical disciplines and modern alternative influences to craft a sound that’s rooted in tradition while offering something new and groundbreaking. With a deep and philosophical approach to her sonic output, Janeuary’s sincerity shines in every note, stemming from the depth of her heart and soul.
In the middle of the challenging war in her homeland, Janeuary continues to create beautiful music with a mission to instil faith, strength and dreams in her listeners. Her music is built on intricate arrangements, unique structures, and led by her compelling vocals.
Her debut album, No news but muse, released last year, captured the hearts of listeners around the world, inspiring artists and dancers alike. The album found a place in various creative projects, including soundtracks for drawings and choreography, while earning support from esteemed Ukrainian magazines such as ELLE Ukraine and Marie Claire. Quickly following her first record with two singles, her music video for “Heart exposure symphony” was featured on several TV outlets, while her single “In my damn head” struck a chord with listeners on Spotify.
Now she brings us her latest release with her new single titled “Everest,” the third song lifted from her forthcoming sophomore album. With its metaphorical writing, the song is not about the world’s biggest mountain, rather, it’s about a man. The singer says that everyone has their own Everest.
Opened by soft piano notes, gently tumbling to form a graceful setting as smooth stretches of violin drift in, Janeuary’s vocals enter with aching emotion as she threads melancholic lines. Building the arrangement with rising orchestral textures, “Everest” delivers an enveloping slice of dark and cinematic alternative pop music.
Full of intensity and sombre melody, it’s a truly dazzling listening experience that pulls you in and wraps you in immersive instrumentation and powerful vocal performance. With delicate ebb and flow, the soundscape rises and falls as deep cello notes underpin the airy piano plinks before the swell of the instruments raise Janeuary’s voice to craft a spellbinding song that sees her enter 2024 with an incredible new piece of music.
