John Leslie Hulcombe shares an ethereal new single, "Sanctuary"
Starting off his year on an incredibly strong note with the release of “Sanctuary”, John Leslie Hulcombe is storming into 2022 with a hit. Read on for a closer look at the track, as well as a refresher on this always talented artist.
Whenever John Leslie Hulcombe puts out new music, the first thing you’ll be able to sense is the genuine love and passion that goes into it. His newest release “Sanctuary” stays true to that mold in the sense that he’s crafted together a somewhat ethereal and introspective sound that is not only sonically vibrant, but paired with lyricism that makes you slow down and listen to his story. Like always, we’re going to highly recommend you give this one a focused listen.
Amplified by the guitar provided from Peter Koppes, this particular track is a shift in what we’ve heard before from the artist. Accompanied by orchestral and Gregorian chants from Peter too, this is a bit of a serious side showing from John’s previous works. We can definitely sit here and describe with a general atmospheric feeling, but honestly right from the get go “Sanctuary” sucks the listener into its 5 minute runtime and holds you steady until the final moments. His vocals give off a serious nature in the message and life feels like it slows down for a little bit.
While we loved “Born of the Fire” and “Love Found A Way”, this has shown off a hidden aspect of John’s artistic abilities in the form of song composition. That’s not to say anything was glaringly wrong with the others, because we loved them too, but the structure of “Sanctuary” is where its true talents lie. It doesn’t stick to a particular format and ultimately gives off that emotion that makes you want to sit back and let it all happen to you. Once again, we think he’s definitely headed in the right direction and surely 2022 is going to be the best year yet for everything else that’s hopefully set to come.
