Canadian indie-folk duo Ocie Elliott have once again solidified themselves as masters of storytelling with their new release, “Adelina.” This tender ballad is an intimate folk woven with gentle harmonies that make time seem to slow down.
“Adelina” takes listeners into a world where love feels tender, moments are savored, and simplicity speaks volumes. Ocie Elliott sticks to their trademark warm, theatrical sound, soft, shimmery, and deeply harmonious, allowing their vocal arrangements to be the stars. It is a piece in which the voices are the predominant instrument, weaving together more seamlessly than you would think while creating earthy and air-bound music.
“Adelina” gives a dreamy warmth that recalls campfire stories or whispered lullabies. It’s a track that isn’t demanding, sucking in with its sincerity. Every note is delivered, every harmony a brushstroke creating an image of love in its simplest sense.
Ocie Elliott has a real talent for playing with emotion through sound, a gift they harness on “Adelina.” It’s a reminder to live at a slower pace, appreciate the still beauty that surrounds us, and, most importantly, hold dear the love that is so readily available.
