The Daylight “Hidden Love”

“Hidden Love” is an instantly beautiful track. The vulnerability and genuine tenderness and scares that comes with parenthood are so intricately expressed in this track. “Hidden Love” feels like a derivative from The Daylight’s usual sonic palette, though it’s more of a surprise that really sheds a new light on what the creative duo is capable off.

Interestingly, The Daylight’s song book is one filled with genre-bending imagination, exploring a modern pop-rock sensibility. The duo opens your eyes to the tangible and intangible expression of sounds and melodies, painting the canvas with courage and heart. “Hidden Love” is as intense as it is nuanced and gentle. The track talks about a love that takes up your entire existence, that makes you panic and worry in a way you never thought you’d be at the same time, makes your heart so full of joy and happiness that it’s going to explode.

The world seems to blur and becomes softer in “Hidden Love.” The guitar drafts a hypnotic, lullaby-like soundscapes that gradually become the background. It’s still raw and careful, but it’s passionate and full of energy. Those very bright and tough combination of color smashes into the guitar tone and create such an abstract and expressionistic feel that is confessional and naked.

The vocals adhere to a similar aesthetic in this track. The melodies and delivery can’t hide a sense of nervousness that comes from caring too much — which is insanely rare to be captured in songs, yet The Daylight did it with flying scores. They’re not trying to be anything they’re not, they are just really good at expressing the way they feel, and that gives them an unusual and diverse range of sonic palettes — priceless, to be exact.
