Showing a stylish mix of glistening synth-pop and dark R&B, “Bloom” is a new track from Dawning, the project of Aaron Senor, an artist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The initial sound is darkly atmospheric and in an R&B vein, reminding fondly of Toro y Moi. The ensuing, pulsating chorus rides with a hooky effervescence. Following the three-minute mark, a striking transition takes hold, with a lusher and more yearning disposition amidst clanging piano and string-laden backing. “Bloom” succeeds with its atmospheric, melodic pull and share of structural twists and turns.
The track comes via Dawning’s new EP, Petals.
