Ashes on My Tongue

Emotional Christian hip-hop with stripped piano and pulsing low kick, half-time groove, and rising string swells; verse rides sparse keys and tight drums, pre-chorus narrows to voice and felt piano, chorus opens with stacked harmonies and chant-like responses, bridge pulls to near silence before a final lift. Intense close-mic male vocals, doubled on key lines, cracked ad-libs, delay throws on the last word of each hook, cinematic and intimate mix with glossy top end.
