“Garden Of Eden” is the first single off of Billie Marten’s upcoming release Flora Fauna, set to be released on May 21 , 2021. An intriguing track that grows in intensity, “Garden Of Eden” is a stellar glimpse into Marten’s dynamic and intricate music.
Beginning with an intro that pairs a deep bass rhythm with Marten’s light, striking vocals, the hypnotic tune slowly builds with light percussion and subtle vocal harmonies. The verses lull you into a trance before the chorus envelops you with swirling, ambient harmonies and glowing instrumentation. Suddenly, you find yourself in a perfectly intricate web of optimistic, positive tones as she sings “I wanna feel alive, garden of eternal sunshine”. The bridge offers a twist with a key modulation that creates a disorienting, dreamy scene before returning to the chorus and leaving you on a lingering, pensive note.
Based in the United Kingdom, Billie Marten has already received critical praise for “Garden Of Eden” from outlets such as Stereogum and The New York Times. Her upcoming album was recorded with Rich Cooper in London and promises to be an outstanding collection of songs showcasing Marten’s unique sound and perspective. With incredibly moving harmonies, dynamic production, and Marten’s beautiful, rich voice, “Garden Of Eden” is just beginning to bloom.
