In her newest single “Excuse Me While I Go Fall in Love,” Mary Knoblock turns heads with enchantingly dreamlike melodies, vocals, synths and percussion that take fans on a finely crafted, poetic journey of two people and the music they make. Influenced by the collections of neo-classical and avant-garde, Knoblock takes a risk in this number adopting a new indie-pop look that is unique and revealing of her own character.
Starting with strapping of beat, the song immediately sets the mood up and with ambient ethereal vocals that sounds as if they are from another world. Knoblock distinct voice is slightly covered and she enshrouds the listener with a mysterious create-aspect in this song like she is singing from within in a cavern. This sense of mystery goes on with guitar and heavy synth drums coming in, overlaying delicate strings giving out a rich and magical density.
This simple disco tempo along with synth pulses embrace the vocal performance of Knoblock shifting from cheerful and fragile to gloomy and rich. A precise connection to the theme of love and contemplation strengthen this work as the lyrics of the song do, in general. And every note and each beat is produced to where songs that explore romance and creativity are all multilayered.
With “Excuse Me While I Go Fall in Love”, Knoblock has created a sonic journey that will essentially act as the introduction to her next body of work, “Halo”. More than the prove of her change in style, this track gives the listeners snipets of the new directions she is experimenting in her songs, to enjoy her melodic trance.
