"Up in the Clouds" by SONUR is an evocative track that seamlessly blends an alternative sound with a smooth, polished production. From the outset, the song envelops the listener in its atmospheric build, combining ethereal synths with soft percussion.
The track then reveals a deeper, more intense layer of heaviness through the careful incorporation of distorted riffs and powerful keyboard elements.
The song’s arrangement effortlessly navigates between these contrasting textures, showcasing SONUR’s ability to merge soul-stirring melodies with a weighty, alternative tone. The keys serve as a steady foundation, weaving in and out of the track with an almost hypnotic quality, while the distorted guitars break through the calm to add bursts of energy and emotion.
Despite its heavy, intense undertones, "Up in the Clouds" never loses its accessibility, landing comfortably within the realm of pop music. SONUR’s unique blend of soulful melodies with heavy elements makes for a compelling juxtaposition, merging genres in a way that feels fresh. The vocals are smooth and emotive, seamlessly guiding the listener through the track.
Those vocals are also performed by both male and female, so you end up getting a beautiful duet style towards the second half of the track.
"Up in the Clouds is a song about social media and this feeling of missing out and wanting to be in the clouds where all the influencers are living," - SONUR
This was an excellent song and its smooth, yet heavy tones create a distinct vibe.
