Things Will Get Better

There Will Be No Crying


Oh laisse les parler
Pendant que l'on dort sur le sable 
Cela flatte le monde 
Même si ça ne durera pas
Or pardonne moi 
De m'être emportée si vite
Ce serait un gâchis de ne pas 
Être à toi

Dominique 
Toi et moi
C'est un exquis désastre
Nos chemins se séparent
À l'aube du lendemain
Dominique 
Toi et moi  
C'est un exquis désastre
Nos chemins se séparent
        A l'aube du petit matin
À l'aube du lendemain


Oh laisse les parler
Alors que tu prends ma main
Estompant le souvenir 
De l'empreinte de quelqu'un
Et quand nous rentrons 
Les cheveux salés par l'air marin
On s'endort 
Et oublie qu'on se connait presque pas
                         

Dominique 
Toi et moi
C'est un exquis désastre
Nos chemins se séparent
À l'aube du lendemain
Dominique 
Toi et moi  
C'est un exquis désastre
Nos chemins se séparent
                 A l'aube du petit matin
À l'aube du lendemain

Emporte cette partie de moi
Dans laquelle je me reconnais pas..

Amy Winehouse - I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know (Live)

Artist: @soelaela
Stream/Buy: www.linktr.ee/scissorandthread

Soela is the DJ and production alias of Elina Shorokhova, a Russia-born Berlin-based experienced pianist and vocalist who has made a hugely impactful transition into electronic music.

Having released material on such labels as Kompakt, Dial, Shall Not Fade, Lost Palms, E-Beamz, Red Ember Records, Sushitech, and others, Soela joins the ranks of Scissor & Thread for this exquisite album - Dark Portrait. 

The album opens in a typically understated manner with Unsuitable - a melancholic trip-hop adjacent track that sets the tone for the next 8 pieces. As Soela explains, “I was dealing with some very complex feelings, so I came up with this album, which helped me not to despair, to work on myself, to grow internally, and to start listening to myself. It helped me to keep sane when my country invaded Ukraine with a full scale war. It absolutely broke my heart, and music was one of my main salvations.” 

This complex mix of emotions plays out across the album with tracks that utilize her beautiful musicality (Through the Windows feat. Francis Harris and Philipp Priebe, Drowning feat. Module One) and ear for details with skittering beats, ambient soundscapes (Spirits, Lost In The Fog) and lose-yourself dancefloor moments such as the collaboration with Lawrence on February Is Not Going To Be Forever. The title track Dark Portrait combines dubby elements with affecting pads and melodic touches, while the lead single Even If I Ask You Stay delves into multiple feelings around escaping toxic situations, and battling depression. It features a powerful vocal from Soela supported by a deeply affecting arrangement. The closing track The Darkest Hour Before Sunrise brings a sense of hope and light, balancing subdued keys and strings with ethereal tones and atmospheres

In another life I spent time occasionally working in Ethiopia, and this track is a little nod to 70's ethio-jazz albeit with some kind of house beat influence; anyway...
