Dear listener and readers of Soundville, to be honest, I never thought electronic pop and alternative rock could reach such cinematic depth as the music of the talented Cherry Makes Waves.
Cherry Makes Waves, a Northern European artist and producer, is a genius of experimentation and stunning imagery. Her debut album ‘Home By Eleven’ is a clear testament to that, from the very first listen, it’s evident that this is an album of mood and self-expression. And you know what, it pulls you in with its distinct, authentic atmosphere, intensified by every single track. I wouldn’t hesitate to compare Cherry Makes Waves to a film director. Track by track, she builds an intriguing storyline, drawing the listener deeper into the story and into her sound. Cherry Makes Waves masterfully combines different genres, which makes the album truly unique.

There are 11 tracks on the debut album ‘Home By Eleven’. While listening, I experienced what you could call emotional swings. Some tracks are filled with melancholy, others are pure euphoria. I suggest you take a break right now and enjoy the stunning debut of Cherry Makes Waves, and listen to the brightest tracks from the album that have literally settled deep in the heart. The first track ‘Yeah’. It is just a short introductory fragment, 23 seconds long, but to me it seemed especially impressive and deserving of close attention. The restrained electronic motif that sounds in the opening prologue seems to set the mood for the whole album. A short intro by Cherry Makes Waves feels like a deep breath the narrator takes before a long and captivating story. For me personally, this short passage set the intimate atmosphere in which I was able to listen to the entire album.

Then in ‘One Level Higher’ the music gradually builds up, and with each passing second you begin to feel even more the invisible presence of Cherry Makes Waves. The song slowly unfolds from gentle electronic pads to energetic alt-rock. Flawless! I like how ‘Regulate Your Mess’ instantly changes the mood, adding a dose of fresh energy and unusual harmonies with dark undertones. There’s something mystical about the way an invisible force, a rebellious spirit, and a kind of protest can be felt in the sound. You know, I love this feeling of light euphoria and unstoppable energy that stayed with me after listening

Get ready, because up next is ‘Home by Eleven’. This is the title track of the album, so it definitely can’t be overlooked. The song is quite interesting and supports the overall message of the album. This song is quite interesting and supports the overall message of the album. A perfect mix of brightness, uniqueness, and dance energy instantly fills the atmosphere with vibrant neon lights. And believe me, you’ll want to keep this track on repeat! All these emotions, shaped into a flawless blend of electronic elements, leave an indelible impression!

‘Bisket Full’ strikes with its unexpected broken rhythms and bold sonic details. Against the backdrop of multilayered synthesizer textures, the vocals sound remarkably distinctive. There’s quite a lot of computer processing here. But this feature doesn’t spoil the track at all. On the contrary, the effects give it a special sound that inevitably resonates in the heart. At the same time, the melody doesn’t fade or get lost amid these effects. When you try to combine opposites, the key is not to overdo it. Cherry Makes Waves clearly knows this rule.

The track I want to highlight is ‘Dancing Like I Know Ya’. In contrast to the previous songs, this one is light and even playful. ‘Dancing Like I Know Ya’ is perfect for moments when you’re dreaming or feeling nostalgic. While listening, you can sense retro motifs, which makes the track even more interesting. Check out ‘Sad on Internet’! You know, I was really struck by the amazing collaboration with Autow Nite Superstore. Cherry Makes Waves sure knows how to surprise. The track blends rap and electronic sounds in an incredible way. It almost feels like you’re part of some kind of online conversation yourself.

The album ends with the track ‘High & Dry’. I like how this track embodies the limit of emotions, the climax of the story. In ‘High & Dry’, Cherry Makes Waves’ incredible vocals and a very interesting arrangement merge, creating an amazing atmosphere. I feel how the song brings a sense of vulnerability and fragility, which makes it truly special.

Wow, that was amazing! After listening to the album ‘Home By Eleven’, I’m deeply impressed. It’s incredible, with its bright dark pop sound and dancepop energy. All the tracks, despite their individuality, intertwine into a single chain. Be sure to add your favorite tracks to your playlists so you don’t lose such an amazing sound! And make sure to follow Cherry Makes Waves so you don’t miss this incredible, energetic, and bright music!

Hey Cherry Makes Waves! Thank you for releasing such wonderful music! When I listened to your album, I was truly overwhelmed by different emotions. It felt like watching a movie that changes its scene and adds new feelings with each track. You know, I’ll definitely show your album to everyone so they can also listen to such amazing and interesting music! I love it and want more, I’m your fan! Yeah!
