“Twilight” by Leonie Sherif is a smooth and captivating R&B track that walks the listener through a transcendent love story. Sherif, an innovative singer-songwriter that merges different corners of the R&B genre, paints a story of love across the twilight sky, even stepping up into the expansive galaxy to demonstrate how a true love can make a person feel magical. Another unique aspect of this track is its perfume counterpart, a fragrance that is part of Sherif’s perfume line, Sense’N’By Sherif. “Twilight” is that scent in song form, and this blend of two very different avenues shows Sherif’s clear artistic vision, and how her artistry bleeds into, and combines, her many different passions.
Tapping synth bells and ominous ambience swoop through the intro as emotional strings begin to move across the song. Then, intimate vocals and muted, grooving drums begin, bringing the listener into the hypnotizing atmosphere. Lyrics like “no matter what I need you by my side” and “you know you can follow me, take you to another galaxy” show us just how other-worldly this love feels. Bolstered by her love, Sherif dreams of visiting other galaxies with this person.
Ear candy melodies and smooth vocal rhythms have the listener swaying to each moment of this song. Energy shifts in the arrangement help the song move from section to section, providing a satisfying ebb and flow that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Whether you are looking for love, experiencing a crush, or falling deep in love, “Twilight” provides the perfect soundtrack for all of it.
