90 Beats Per Minute by Cherry Makes Waves

Dear listeners and readers of Soundville,

Have you ever listened to releases by audio-visual artists who weave concepts and experimental ideas into their work, awakening the minds of listeners? Cherry Makes Waves is just such an artist who breaks stereotypes, shatters boundaries, and releases music filled with meaning, ideas, and energy. Her recent EP ’90 Beats Per Minute’ consists of 5 tracks, each recorded at a tempo of 90 BPM. Unusual, isn’t it? However, rest assured that these songs, despite having the same BPM, sound different and have completely different effects. This is a unique experiment that allows you to feel energy differently, experience music in a new way, and immerse yourself in unique sounds. The EP is multifaceted not only conceptually but also in its creation, involving global collaboration across Latvia, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, and the US, filling the release with various influences, energy, and inspiration. I suggest you take a break right now and enjoy the stunning electronic music into which Cherry Makes Waves has woven many styles and genres, creating a work of art.

The EP opens with ‘Spaceman,’ an underwater ambient piece that disconnects you from reality and tunes your mind to a cosmic wave. Slow swirls of ambient pads are blended with sharp synthetic pads, adding vortices of energy and uncertainty to the sound. This changes the atmosphere, adding mystery, airiness, and intrigue. Everything changes when airy vocals are woven into the sound, directing the melody. I love the hypnotic sound and interesting harmonies that enhance the atmosphere, bringing it to an epic peak. Flawless!

Then comes ‘Phaeton’, in a swinging cloud of booming electronics and sharp rhythm, where Cherry Makes Waves’ voice takes on a stronger performance with unexpected pop hooks. The track undoubtedly seems faster than the previous one, but don’t be fooled, it’s still 90 BPM. The flawless, groovy sound of ‘Phaeton’, with its intense tones, completely hypnotizes and disconnects you from reality. The blending of genres and the play with structure are impressive, especially with the cool, groovy electric guitar solo. This creates a new sound space where you won’t be able to orient yourself immediately. The truly experimental sound of Cherry Makes Waves creates an innovative atmosphere to which you quickly become accustomed.

A surprise awaits you in the next track, ‘BIG LEAGUE’, where almost pop vocals merge with an almost playful funk atmosphere, enriched with synthetic electronic textures and electric guitar. You know, it’s practically impossible to define the genre of the EP ’90 Beats Per Minute’, and there’s no need to, because everyone can listen to Cherry Makes Waves’ music and perceive it in their own way subconsciously, receiving real pleasure that only quality music can provide. With ‘BIG LEAGUE’, you’ll want to dance, follow the groovy rhythm, and then jump on the couch and just sing along with Cherry Makes Waves. Incredible energy fills the space of this sound, creating an unreal, cool cosmic atmosphere. Wow, this is very cool!

A light respite comes with ‘Home (Complete)’. Soft keys and light ambient textures once again create an ephemeral foundation for Cherry Makes Waves’ misty vocals. Performed softly and gently, filled with a melancholic atmosphere, it unfolds into dramatic cinematic sound. With ‘Home (Complete)’, it’s as if snow begins to fall around, and everything acquires deep blue tones. I admit, this is my favorite track on the EP because of the unique harmonies that break the sound and give me goosebumps. The flawless work with sound impresses, and thanks to this, aesthetic scenes arise in the mind, like those from films.

The EP concludes with the track ’90 Beats Per Minute’, and it’s one of the most striking finales. It’s as if ritual drums fill your consciousness, and Cherry Makes Waves’ vocals heighten the tension with the feeling that everything is about to burst in the next second. However, the melody unfolds like a bud, smoothing out all the sharp edges. I love the minimalism of the track, its almost sacred sound, created as if in another world, not on Earth. The addition of backing vocals expands the sensation and gives ’90 Beats Per Minute’ an epic quality. It’s as if I found myself in the center of a whirlpool of voices and got completely lost in them. The quick ending leaves a feeling of shock, disorientation, and being filled with energy. Incredible, stylish, and so cool that you want to listen to the EP all over again. You felt it too, right? To enhance the atmosphere, you can listen to and watch the videos accompanying the EP, and you know, you’ll get completely new impressions. Absolutely amazing!

Hey, Cherry Makes Waves! Thank you for releasing such unique music. Each of the tracks felt completely different. If I didn’t know they were all set at 90 BPM, I would never have guessed. And this sound gives a special charm to your music. Your EP has a sound that creates entire pictures in the mind and inspires. I truly got unreal pleasure from listening. There is so much strength, energy, inspiration, and love here, which is felt in every beat. I will show this release to absolutely everyone, let them also listen to great music. Yeah, I’m your fan!
