An innovation-minded presence in the soul rock community, German-born, Scandinavian-based composer and producer Ulrich Jannert has emerged from their studio, ready to broadcast their latest compilation to the world. Their latest album “Shape your galaxy” proves to test the boundaries of what we believe the genre can be in its own right through its methodically intricate details and clean delivery. Highlighting the collection, the compilation’s titular single shines through as an example of everything the artist stands for and gives listeners an incredible example of Jannert’s proclivities as a maestro.
The piece begins with a soft hum that slowly increases in volume and sets the tone for the music to come. A reverberant blues-style guitar appears soon after, and we begin to see the music take shape. Almost immediately, the vocals begin in a hearty and resonant tambour, prone to a vibrato-heavy style of performance, and we are thrown into the narrative core of the music from the first lines, “Don’t wait for hands to trace your skies, kick the dirt where your future lies. Stars aren’t handed, they’re made in fire.”
Not afraid to enjoy their own work, Jannert throws his highest level of support behind his own work, having been quoted as saying, “I actually wrote all the tracks just for myself and listen to them regularly to create good vibes.” With such a unique approach to their lyric writing and musical arrangement, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what this emerging artist could possibly have in store next.
