Lights On: Me in Loop – A Soulful Exploration by Simone Soro
As I dove into “Me in Loop” by Simone Soro, I felt like I was embarking on a deeply personal journey. Each track on the album felt like a brushstroke on a canvas, capturing the myriad emotions that define the human experience. The haunting whispers of the violin took me from the shadows of anxiety to the serene embrace of inner peace. Soro’s music doesn’t just fill the air; it breathes life into memories, transforming them into melodies that linger long after the last note fades. This album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a passage through the intimate corridors of the soul, inviting us to reflect, to feel, and to transcend.
“Questo sono io,” the album’s opener, immediately drew me in with its serene and reflective tones. It felt like Soro was inviting me into his own personal reflections. The journey continued with “Ansia,” where the intense violin loops mirrored my own moments of existential unrest. The track reminded me of the works of Paolo Angeli and Zoe Keating, whose music similarly captures deep, complex emotions.
“Nostalgia” delicately evoked the bittersweet pleasure of past memories, each note tinged with a melancholic beauty. It brought to mind the evocative compositions of Max Richter. Then came “Solitudine,” a track that made me reflect on the necessity of embracing loneliness for spiritual evolution. Its somber, meditative tones created a space for introspection.
One of the standout pieces for me was “Ricerca.” Its energetic and fierce composition underscored the importance of introspection and emotional direction. I found it reminiscent of the vigorous soundscapes crafted by Ludovico Einaudi. “Scelta” followed, with soothing violin loops that conveyed a chill, meditative vibe, reflecting on life’s impulses and the concept of free will in emotional responses.
The album culminated with “Entusiasmo,” a track that embodied Soro’s key emotion of enthusiasm. It tied all the album’s themes together with a lively and happy sound, leaving me feeling uplifted and transformed. Each track in “Me in Loop” is a testament to Soro’s ability to translate profound feelings into music. This album became my sanctuary, a space where emotions were not just felt but experienced deeply and vividly.
