‘Trail Of Intuition’ from Danish singer and songwriter Jacob Bellens is once again shimmering somewhere in between electronically influenced songwriting and synthpop music, using his characteristic voice to reflect on life’s journey.
With a significant focus on pop music, an electronic synth twist and catchy song structures, with its playfulness as well as the ambiguous lyrics, ‘Trail Of Intuition’ feels both, bright and melancholic, in many ways. Light and dark co-exist but the often mellow and quirky subjects Bellens’ lyrics evolve around end up tipping more towards the lighter side.
The album is a collection of snapshots of the whole range of feelings for which Bellens digs into the pool of his own experiences. “Every song I wrote is me describing my own life, even if I describe it as nonsense,” he says. Any experience - happy or sad - can function as an influence; observations in public, a sudden change in mood as well as a more general sense of feeling helpless with what’s happening in the world like it has been laid out in the song ‘Europe’s Burning’.
LP includes lyric sheet and digital download code.
