Singer-songwriter Sora X is excited to release a short film for her newest single, “The Painter,” which will be the continuation of the story told in the song "Sunflower", a story inspired by the life and works of Vincent van Gogh.
“The Painter” looks at how a person’s emotional turmoil is deeply intertwined with their surroundings. It chronicles the struggle a relationship has, that at times could be one of mutual admiration but also one of mutual neglect. Similar to a twin, an inseparable part of the artist that serves as a constant reminder of internal processes.
Van Gogh's brushstrokes were said to capture his inner world and his internal dialogue of repressed emotion. This song further illuminates this journey, highlighting how art can be a cathartic outlet when facing difficult times.
The song has a beautiful and rich soundscape, instrumental input by Yan Marmara on electric guitar & keys and Gianni Narduzzi on a double bass with Sora X on Guitar, Kalimba and Vocals, woven together with an underlying synthesizer track.
Complete production by Sora X.
Drawing in elements of blues and Baroque pop, accompanied by the raw edge of classic rock, Sora’s piece brings a unique sound to the music scene that is both courageous and captivating mirroring the impressionistic painting style of Van Gogh.
