“Cherry Blossom” by Apollo Rising takes on a mellower tone, weaving a tapestry of sound with looping guitars and a sparse yet captivating instrumentation reminiscent of The Postal Service. The inclusion of drum breaks, vocoders, and the uplifting refrain of “It’ll be ok” infuses the track with an infectious, inspiring energy. The song’s ability to blend mellow vibes with a reassuring message creates a soothing yet empowering listening experience that resonates deeply. The vocals in this song are especially mesmerizing, as they lay melody and atmospherics over a dynamic instrumental.
The upcoming music video for “Cherry Blossom” draws inspiration from 80s film noir and set against the striking concrete backdrop of Montréal. The narrative follows Detective Alex Horne, portrayed by Apollo Rising’s own Danick Coutu, as he navigates a dystopian version of the city.
