The release of ‘Despite’ is accompanied by the official music video available on the GEA’s YouTube channel.
Mesmerically keyed into the enveloping aesthetic of the song, the video features GEA’s charismatic figure, immersed in a woodland landscape, with mosses and crystalline streams of water that beautifully seal the refined compositional aesthetic of the song.
A spiritual adventure. So, we can summarize the wait that separates us from the release of GEA’s awaited album ‘Call For A Snake’.
The premise, which comes with the release of the anticipatory single ‘Despite’, already leaves us amazed, announcing an album that promises to be of exquisite musicianship and considerable caliber.
Of course it could not be otherwise, considering it comes from an award-winning, internationally-renowned artist like GEA, who already boasts tours in three continents, the “Best Editing” award, won at the 2017 edition of the Hollywood International Golden Film with her first self-produced music video, as well as music featured on Netflix.
The Finnish artist has previously released several other works. The LP ‘Butterflies’ from 2017 and the EP ‘Snow’ from 2018 already are expressive pinnacles with which GEA has given wide display of the beauty of her lyrics, often otherworldly and story-teller based, and of her vocals, characterized by an angelic and airy flair.
Evocatively cinematographic, capable of significantly and effortlessly ranging through a rich collection of genres, from EDM to folk, from art-pop to electronic, to the progressive and alternative corners of rock, that of GEA is a uniquely distinctive and enveloping style that earned her works the well-deserved and positive definition of “electro-acoustic fairy music.”
“Call For A Snake is a call for transformation; a call to surrender to your soul’s guidance. The songs are richly textured and musical, and they sonically span genres such as ambient, electronic, tribal, acoustic and symphonic music, 1980s dark wave, and indie-pop.”
So GEA illustrates the concept of her album, then she continues: “the album is bisected by four parts, and each division is dedicated to a phase in our spiritual awakening. These passages of enlightenment are symbolized by the following spirit animals: a snake, a swan, a crow and a snow bunting. My message with this album is that all the wisdom you need is inside of you. The snake is guarding this ancient and intuitive knowledge, and you just need to wake up your inner voice to access it.”
Here we find all the richness and vastness given by the luxuriant variety of elements that GEA channels with brilliant intuition and magnetic charisma. The dualism between conceptualization and musical argument offered by this unparalleled Finnish artist takes off in all its power and grace.
With a background filled with suggestions such as uncertainty, fear and loss, the song draws strength and impulse precisely from these issues, giving drive and reactivity to that “Despite”, which ignites the radiance of a proactive stimulus.
