With “Chasing Slow,” Cinephile blends reflection, hope, and craftsmanship

Cinephile

For many artists, a long absence is something to worry about, but for Cinephile, it became an opportunity for reinvention. With an atmospheric electronic track that is familiar and refreshingly new, “Chasing Slow” sees the return of the Scottish duo after a decade since their last project, the “Skin” EP.

Cinephile, the project of writer & producer Kenny Inglis and vocalist Susan Wallace, has always been about making music that resonates on a deeper level. The duo embraces both the experiences and struggles of a changing world, leaving a sense of hope and renewal in “Chasing Slow.”

The song’s electronic downtempo basis sets up an immersive atmosphere that compels you to slow down and drink in every detail. The song was recorded remotely between two studios in Scotland, and although reflective of the reality of modern music-making, it still has the feel of an intimate song.

Susan Wallace’s vocals add a little warmth and emotion, drifting effortlessly through the finely tuned soundscape of the track. Kenny Inglis’ production, on the other hand, is cinematic and forward-thinking. “Chasing Slow“ is a song of resilience, growth, and artistic evolution. It’s a reminder that great music can go far and inspire reflection and comfort in uncertain times.

Jeffery journey’s from childhood streets to new heights on latest release “ALBANIE”

Jeffery

“ALBANIE” is a high energy song that was inspired by the streets that Jeffery grew up on. Jeffery’s “ALBANIE” brings you back to where his story began. More than a tip of the cap to a familiar place, the release offers a glimpse into his own path, what kept him going and the want that was there long before others saw his potential.

Jeffery connects his current musical journey to the formative experiences that molded him, drawing on the influences of his early surroundings. It has the feel of an artist looking back on his journey, how much work it took to get where he is now, and how far he’s come.

That energy is a response to the personal significance of the title, making the song a statement of progress as well as a tribute to the location of that progress. That removes some of the authenticity of the release. Success can alter the public’s perception of an artist, but the work behind that progression often begins long before the public becomes aware of it. Jeffery connects his current dreams with his earlier self by reassuming the name he once used in his youth.

ALBANIE is a statement of growth without losing your roots. It’s a mix of personal history, determination and a lively musical style that gets people moving to the beat. Jeffery’s proud of the work he’s done with this release, but also knows the foundation it’s laid. It’s a song that bridges hometown memories and future ambition, a reminder that where an artist starts can still be a vital part of where they’re going.
