It’s been a while since Sultan + Shepard, our favorite duo, released new music. Today, they have unveiled their first songs from their upcoming EP Circle in Time: The Trilogy. The tracks ‘Memories’ and ‘Lima’ are out now on This Never Happened. I highly recommend giving them a listen and sharing your thoughts. I’ve been moved to happy tears by these songs since this morning.
Circle in Time: The Trilogy
If you’re fans of Ossama & Ned, then you already know about their three remarkable albums on This Never Happened. The trilogy started off with Something, Everything, followed by Forever, Now and beautifully concluded with Endless, Dawn. These three albums represent different chapters in their musical journey, each evolving over the years. Throughout this creative process, several songs composed didn’t ultimately feature on any of the albums. Circle in Time: The Trilogy is a compilation of eight such songs that didn’t make it onto the albums but hold a special place in Ned & Ossama’s hearts. If you’ve attended one of their performances this year, you might have been lucky enough to hear one of these songs at the Summer Gatherings.
Crafting music and curating the perfect tracklist for an album is a meticulous process. Many artists create more music than are included on an album. These eight songs, however, deserve a rightful place in the world of music. Anticipation is high for the release of the next six songs—we can’t wait to experience what they have to offer.
‘Memories’ And ‘Lima’
The unforgettable allure of ‘Memories’ lies in its warm, inviting atmosphere crafted by rich pads and subtle percussion. The captivating falsetto vocals by The Kite String Tangle create a strong emotional impact, further intensified by Sultan + Shepard’s deep sy and soaring synth production. ‘Lima’ features an upbeat melodic tempo and the signature Sultan + Shepard sound, with an intriguingly haunting vocal throughout. Both tracks have the power to uplift the soul and transport the listener to a place of bliss, as if floating through the clouds with a smile on their face.
With new music always comes exciting announcements, the Circle in Time: The Trilogy will release on November 15th. I will be eagerly waiting to hear some of the remaining songs before the release of the EP. Until then stay tuned to EDMTunes for all the updates as we early wait for S+S to release exciting news!
