There's a high chance you've already heard this gem as it amassed millions of streams since its release in 2020. But if you haven't, I really envy you.
You're about to experience the sonic equivalent of daydreaming, infused with warm vocals & gentle guitars - something that can easily be playing at the doors of heaven. "Icarus" was only the 2nd single by US singer Fana Hues but it already predicted her future success. Due to sickness, she was almost voiceless for 5 years when she was a child, which later on really made her appreciate her purpose of being a musician - and it shows.
A moody soul/r&b piece, "Icarus" has a vintage touch in both Fana's honey voice & the dusty production. She shares about the process, "The very first beat The Drum kitchen played for me was the beat that would become "Icarus". I pulled from early Dionne Warwick and Diana Ross for vocal inspiration as well as how to approach an instrumental that's so cinematic and scenic. Once I mapped out the overall feel for the song, it basically wrote itself.”
And if you need to warm yourself today, definitely watch the live music video:
