The Raft - Abloom is a brilliant dream pop album written by one of the best songwriters from Brighton, England, UK. It’s dreampop with a shoegaze twist. Think about the summer-y dreampop sound when you listen to this album. A sound that is heard but not often thought about. Phil Wilson is the genius behind The Raft. This album was released digitally on bandcamp as a digital download on the date of April 5, 2019.
Xanadu was the first single off the album. Xanadu is a soft luscious pop song with a dreampop sound perfect for summer. It’s perfect summer music.
No, this song is not a cover of the original Xanadu by Olivia Newton-John. Many people seem to think this song is a cover of the original Xanadu or at least that what they believe. However that is not the case as this song was an original composition. Xanadu was written by Claire O'Neill and Phil Wilson. Producer JPedro has produced Xanadu in 2019. Phil Wilson was inspired by a song called The Cranberries - Linger.
The song Xanadu uses an arrangement of four chords from a guitar. All four chords remain the same throughout the song. There are noticeable drops in certain place of this song. Most notably around the chorus.
Glad I Don't Know (Nax Electric Dreams Remix) is a dreampop song where electronic and pop music meet each other. You can tell as the song uses processed electronic instrumentation. The whole song is nearly an instrumental.
I rate this single 4/5****!!
