“Gifted” is track number 1 off of this album, and what a masterpiece this is! Right from the opening notes, you can feel that this is something serene with a deep and densely haunting rhythm and sound that is more felt and less heard.
The keys are striking, ebbing, and flowing with a melodious feel that feels like an experience down a tentative highway. The bass underscores the dense nature of the track, and those distinctively solid effects give it a cinematic thrill.
The organic guitars add to the song’s real, almost tangible impact, elevating it to new heights. In a nutshell, “Gifted” is an immersive listening experience with replay value. It is guaranteed to continue haunting you even after it is no more. To counter this effect, you are highly advised to listen to it on repeat.
