“Forest Tales (Adventure Comes)“ by Nicolas Cazaux and Madeleen

“Forest Tales (Adventure Comes)” by Nicolas Cazaux is an enthralling instrumental track with ethereal vocals from fellow French artist, Madeleen. These two talented composers and sound engineers worked to create an enveloping, cinematic landscape that you could imagine hearing in many kinds of dramatic films or video games. The artistic chemistry between these collaborators is clear, and the dynamic nature of the track lends itself to emotional feelings and captivating visions that immerse you in its soundscape.

The track opens with ethereal, overlapping vocals and cinematic ambience swirling across the arrangement, often swooping in tandem with big drum hits. Dancing strings and lilting flute provide a steady rhythm as well as some special ear candy moments. Other string melodies move with the main vocal, highlighting its meandering and intimate nature. The energy of the song rises and falls throughout the song, with drums slamming in to up tension, then dropping out completely at other times to make you lean in close. 

Each element of the arrangement is thoughtful and impactful, working in perfect harmony to build the most satisfying sonic journey possible. Madeleen’s soft, yet powerful vocal performance ties the track together, marrying the intense drums with the soft strings and trilling flutes. The song has a big finish that rises and echoes out, then soft “ooos” and tinkling production lead you out of the song. “Forest Tales (Adventure Comes)” is whimsical and adventurous, making you feel like you are traveling through a mystical forest yourself with every sliding string and pretty melody.
