viBen – “Initials”

//

Melding sophisti-pop and electronic charm, “Initials” is a new track from viBen. Suave piano tones and a warming bass pulsation craft an inviting soundscape, alongside laid-back vocals and twangy ambient effects. A brassy effect lingers throughout wordless vocal prancing in the melodic bridge, then traversing seamlessly into the initial verses. The second half expands the electronic flourishing, as a nocturnal synth pad exudes a spacey appeal to complement a lush vocal addition. “Initials” is a stellar track from viBen.

The track comes via viBen’s new album, Intro to Scuba, Pt. 1:
