Layered neo soul, funk, and psychedelia come together in a tight embrace on the contemplative, reflective stroll that is The Landing’s This Way.
In creating This Way, The Landing was inspired by the energy on Jungle’s track Bonnie Hill. The resulting piece finds its way to its own distinct vibe and atmosphere. There is a lovely richness to The Landing’s sound here, and it invites you to luxuriate in its own moment. The song ends up being a meditative tribute to presence and mindfulness, as the artist describes:
“The lyrics of This Way speak of the inevitability of the present moment, that the Universe always unfolded just so, in just this way, to arrive here, at now. Wow!”
A classically training musician and amateur astronomer, The Landing looks to bring together synth arrangements that would scale to a symphony orchestra, all whilst leveraging a cosmic perspective. As you hear here, the result is lively and human, leveraging a sense of scale to landing something reassuringly earthy and compassionate.
With over 5-million streams online, The Landing has twice been featured by Apple Music as a Top New Artist, and featured on Spotify’s own curated playlists.
