'Between Islands' has a wonderfully lazy vibe about it; Montclare vocalises atop of an instrumental backdrop that combines subtle beats and ambient noises washing behind jagged piano that provide the perfect foil for Montclare's whispery but pretty sexy sounding voice. The overall result is something approaching a nu-jazzy-electro-hop kinda effect - modern sounds for the discerning modern ear methinks!
'Between Islands' is a sensitive sounding work made poignant by the reality of Montclare's obvious uncertainty regarding her origins, roots and loyalties. But, that same turmoil boiling up in Montclare's head is the very stuff that makes 'Between Islands' so compelling; I think most of us have similar uncertainties that we juggle with on a day-to-day basis, maybe not exactly the same as Montclare's but certainly resulting in a similarly unsettling mind-set that can be just as emotionally challenging. So, we are all somewhat 'Between Islands' so we should be able to relate to Ella Montclare as she tries to make sense of her situation by sharing her thoughts with us, the music lovers of the world.
'Between Islands' by Ella Montclare is a moody but delicately executed single and regardless of meaning it has the potential to be a nice little earner for Montclare. This is exactly the kinda thing that radio 'jocks' are looking for, especially late at night when the mood is perhaps a little more chilled. 'Between Islands' by Ella Montclare is a kinda leftfield poppy number that could just work its magic and get up there into the charts; it's a nice little starter from Ella Montclare, I wander what she'll come up with next!!
