The sheer intensity of Lina Maxine’s “LET ME” defies easy categorization. She covers much ground, from a soft-spoken ballad to a mechanical clang. Her voice serves as the anchor for the work. It grows alongside the increasingly erratic arrangement that twists and turns in myriad ways. Bringing to mind the late 90s industrial-pop beast that was Garbage, the entirety of the track works itself into a frenzy. Yet, despite the intense experience, she maintains a degree of crystal calm about her.
Melody starts things up. No matter what else occurs within the track, and there’s plenty, this initial riff is one of the backbones of the song alongside her haunting vocals. With the rising action, it has a theatrical sensibility that embraces a sense of glamour. She retains her feminine side for all the sheer urgency, making sure it all has grace even as the song becomes increasingly heavy. Dollops of pure distortion blast their way to the forefront. Each reiteration of the theme gives it a psychedelic aura at times, like going down the rabbit hole ever faster and with less control. The idea of losing control is at the crux of the experience, feeling strangely alluring, even liberating.
“My sound is a sonic embodiment of my personality - rhythmic drums, deep and groovy basslines, mesmerizing guitars, plus soaring top lines to set the stage for an unforgettable musical journey. From start to finish, I strive for dynamic highs and lows that captivate listeners from every corner of their being, all with the intention that my music can take its audience on a rollercoaster ride!”
“To put it in one sentence: My music has life - vibrant drumbeats carrying the song forward energetically while enveloped by soulful melodies built upon sublime riffs -all complemented perfectly through meaningful lyrics tugging at your heartstrings.
“Bringing our music to total production is achieved creatively and enjoyably: starting with piano, guitar, and voice - because we want our songs to be impactful at their most authentic state. Then, organic drums are recorded before processing them further with other kits. Next, bass lines follow, as well as guitars from Dean; finally, it comes time for vocals and the exciting surprise of discovering what sounds best along the recording process!”
