Jinjer never fails to deliver and they certainly didn’t hold back with their new single “Vortex”, serving it up on a silver platter.
This is another one of their atmospheric heavy hitters that you don’t know if you should head bang or twirl around to. For anyone wondering, I will be doing both.
With the anticipation of their new album Wallflowers, set to release August 27th, the band has stated in many interviews that this new material is, and I quote, “The most intense and aggressive sound they’ve ever had.” This being the first single they’ve released from the album, I can definitely see what they’re talking about and you will too.
The song starts off beautifully eerie with the music carrying you to Tatiana’s angelic voice that seems to entrance you. The first few lyrics being “like a lunatic, frantic” precisely tell you where the song is going and what their new material has in store for us. It’s not long until the song starts to pick up and Tati’s vocals get even more intense with those signature screams all Jinjer fans know and love. Make sure you listen to it all the way through so you don’t miss out on the spine chilling growl she seemingly pulls out of thin air.
This track gradually takes you up, back down, and then up even higher. Essentially taking you on a massive journey that you’ll want to experience again and again.
“Vortex” is perfect for anyone who loves a good prog rock song with huge vocals and a profound meaning that you can further explore with each listen. I can’t wait for the album but until then you can find me listening to this song on full blast while telling everyone I know to do the same!
