When I asked Tom to tell me a little bit about his collaboration with mAncient, this is what he told me, "I felt the song was very good but needed a hook, so I suggested that we collaborate on it. He emailed me the instrumental track and I edited it down to 3 min. After this, I recorded my vocal hooks. I moved the bits around and added: timpani, clavier, wah wah guitar, tubular bells, strings and some choir bits. I loved the result and he did too, so it was a go." Tom also stated that it felt good to do something completely out of his genre. He felt liberated and that it was exciting. Let's get on with the review.
The Review... CHAKRA 10 (LET'S PRAY)
Chakra 10 (Let's Pray) starts out epically, with a stunning vocal effect that leads into a punchy violin riff and an X-files-like piano resting on a pounding kick drum that makes you feel like you’re about ready to dance in your seat. Next, you hear mAncient transitioning the track to a captivating prayer, while Tom Tikka sings, "Let's pray and hold our hands together" in a heavenly voice.
This track is epic, and you can feel the power of prayer in this track. As the track plays on, you can also feel the build-up with the Hi Hat that leads to the hook.
The hook is amazing. All the instruments burst out: the violin, piano, and guitar mix with timpani, clavier, tubular bells is simply divine. mAncient reciting prayers as Tom sings the chorus, "Let's pray and hold our hands together, Let's pray and hold our hands together, There's no reason not to do it, just take my word, Take my word..." This track is truly fantastic. mAncient and Tom Tikka have done an outstand job getting the message of how powerful prayer is. Chakra 10 (Let's Pray) is a kind of track that leaves you captivated by the words, and gives you a feeling of closeness to a higher power through prayer.
Chakra 10 (Let's Pray) will be released soon. So, readers keep and eye out for this smashing single! You really don't wanna miss out on this track! Simply brilliant!
