“Reminisce” is effortlessly likable from the very opening notes. The Song’s structure features an intriguing blend of acoustic guitar and emotive fiddle, providing such a delightful backdrop for Ranzel X Kendrick’s expressive vocals as he makes an anthem off of this masterpiece, especially with that unforgettable chorus that will haunt you long after the song is no more.
In a very captivating way, “Reminisce” is the kind of music that for some reason, goes really well with those kind of intimately sad moments. It is the kind of song that feels like it is communicating to your heart and soul, as Ranzel X Kendrick’s raw and honest words feel like the very expression of your experiences. And he also has a way of making you feel heard and felt as he tells his own story of growing up and being in love.
Personal, accessible, and universal, “Reminisce” is haunting. The lilting fiddle adds such a deep emotional tone that the soft strumming of the guitar feels as weathered as an old porch swing.
The song is distant and nostalgic, feeling like a memory of love lost in time (though not) with simple yet profound lyrics that makes it easier to connect with the jam personally. Ranzel X Kendrick’s voice is tender, intimate and the kind that makes you feel as though you and him share the same air; – the same aching in silence!
The accompanying visuals are just as moving as the song itself. They are relevant to the music and masterfully capture the mood, tone, and message of the song.
There is something magical about “Reminisce,” it is the kind of ballad that just refuses to let go and leaves you with a sense of peace— it feels like an old friend’s embrace and it is filled with longing.
And so I ask, who wouldn’t want to listen to such a tour de force as this? No one? That’s what I thought!
