Faizal Lubis' "Dreams" EP soars to cinematic heights
In the ethereal realm of dreamscapes and symphonic Pop, Faizal Lubis has unfurled his latest sonic tapestry, the collaborative masterpiece titled 'Dreams.' This 5-track EP not only marks a musical evolution for the Indonesian multi-instrumentalist and composer but stands as a testament to his artistic vision and global collaboration.
From the very first note, 'Dreams' is a cinematic journey that transcends borders, filled with outstanding arrangements and powerful vocal performances. Lubis, in a departure from his previous instrumental work, takes the reins as a vocalist in each of the tracks. This decision proves to be a stroke of genius, allowing him to express his narrative with a sincerity that resonates through every lyric.
The multinational appeal of 'Dreams' is immediately apparent, weaving together a musical mosaic that spans continents. A highlight is the inclusion of a live orchestra recorded in the heart of Prague, Czech Republic. Nearly 50 string players, conducted by the skilled Richard Heinz, add a lush, symphonic layer to the EP, elevating it to cinematic heights. The soulful vocals of Czech singer Klara Jelinkova further contribute to the international flavor, creating a rich tapestry of sounds and cultures.
The collaborative spirit of 'Dreams' extends to Lubis' fellow Indonesian musicians—Guntur Nurpuspita, Gita Roni Chandra, and Arfin Ali Hasan. Together, they infuse the EP with a diverse range of musical influences, creating a sonic landscape that is both expansive and intricate.
The ardent and innocent nature of 'Dreams' is palpable in every note. It's not just an EP; it's a sincere serenade and an inspirational journey that aims to touch the hearts of listeners. Lubis' mastery as a pianist, keyboardist, singer-songwriter, composer, and arranger is on full display, showcasing his versatility and expertise honed through years of experience in the industry.
The EP unfolds like a carefully scripted story, with each track building upon the last to create a cohesive and immersive experience. The sincerity in Lubis' vocals, coupled with the meticulously crafted arrangements, allows 'Dreams' to resonate on an emotional level, making it a standout release in the contemporary pop landscape.
