Dear listener and Soundville reader, what do you think a lonely night with candles and the moon outside the window is missing? Here’s a hint, a mesmerizing track to set the mood. The new intimate single ‘Remember’ by INDVGO is dedicated exactly to that night. With her uniquely velvety voice, it paints a true noir in the finest traditions of blues and R&B.

In this nocturnal confession, INDVGO pieces together dark and intimate memories, shaped by the spirit of Brooklyn, its lights, its music, its passions. On ‘Remember’ she lays bare everything she once kept unspoken. For a long time, INDVGO wrote poetry before she dared to sing, and she was right to take that leap. Brooklyn had been waiting for her, offering a million chances. Her rare contralto has brought something new to R&B, especially on this latest track.

‘Remember’ instantly submerged me in a noir from a bygone era silent black-and-white films, old records, and the crackling of branches outside the window. INDVGO’s velvety voice adds a touch of gothic, without diving into a sea of despair, yet turning all my expectations of R&B upside down. I never imagined this modern genre would find common ground with classic cinema.

However, my conclusions proved naive. The old retro motifs unexpectedly shifted to club R&b, without changing the melody. It turned out to be mesmerisingly beautiful, surprising. The track was filled with a modern sound, and the drama disappeared. The retro seemed to evaporate, creating the impression that it was not INDVGO singing, but a completely different person. It was a brilliant move, adding a modern shade to the velvety night. This was no longer old cinema with heroes in hats, but a modern club where a stylised retro party had just ended.

Hey INDVGO! Thanks for releasing out such wonderful music. You know, the track ‘Remember’ turned out to be a perfect companion for a stormy, restless night outside my window. I could listen to it every single day in November, especially when the wind’s howling outside. I don’t even know why, but the song fits the rain so well, that romantically dark mood just fires up my inspiration! And through that veil of noir, there’s still something cozy, something warm and comforting. Oh, please keep making more of these stunning tracks! I love it and I want more, yeah!
