Randomly, by watching all the Kygo “Making of…” videos, there was one video, where they discussed if the song is actually too long.
Never heard the song “Freeze” before, so I wanted to know how a Kygo song sounds like, which is potentially too long, so I listened to the full song…and I just love it. What a beautiful creation of a calm sound atmosphere. It’s one of the very special closed eyes songs. Not too long at all. It could go on forever.
Kygo has a beautiful talent to guide the listener through his melodies always with a positive surprise. Drops are sometimes predictable but Kygo manages to create different transitions with his magic, e.g. using the energy of silence or reversing or chopping sounds, to make the drop come out always as a surprise. Beautiful talent!
Love the helmet scene visuals at 5:55 min in the video. Thanks Kygo for your hard work and your gifts of creativity! There could be no better summary for this sound atmosphere than “Freeze” – it’s what humanity urgently needs in this information explosion.
