Distance H’s Waters of woe

 

Distance H, a  project by French producer Manu H, is creating Intimacy, a shadowy, melancholic EP featuring various female artists.  When talking about the new track on Intimacy titled “Waters of woe” Manu H explains

 

 “This track is part of the process of my EP Intimacy on which I invite female singers to express themselves by escaping into and from the vast distances of themselves and their experiences.”

 

 Once the instrumental part of the song “Waters of woe” was completed Manu H began looking for the singer who would best compliment the song.  He contacted Marita Volodina from Stridulum.

“the connection was fast between her universe, what she wanted to express and my own vibes. We quickly shared the same vision and I was very impressed by the way she appropriated the title, which also led to the desire to make a video to bring a visual dimension to what we could share with all our connections.” 

 

The song is a redemptive arc which starts with the way in which one must overcome pain and anguish, that are the result of broken promises made either by yourself or by others, making the Promised Land inaccessible.  Despair, resulting in anguish and abandonment leads eventually to the ability to distance oneself from the ghosts of the past and find solace in the present.  The song has a captivating melody, dark and enticing, which is entwined with provoking lyrics and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Marita Volodina.  

 

A spectacularly intoxicating track “Waters of woe” is a fabulous addition to the Intimacy EP.
