Song of the Week: "Water on Mars" by Crue

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and educator Crue is DC's best kept secret. "Water on Mars" embodies the definition of neo-soul in 2017. Her voice drips with sweetness and soul, pairing well with slow-building production at the top of the track. Progressively, Crue adds synths, layered harmonies, and violin. Her lyrics tap into your spiritual being and allow for an introspective moment, "we grow at different paces/suffer in different stages/live in different places of the mind and time on earth." "Water on Mars" is a hypnotizing cut that exemplifies her alias OGLullabies. Listen to "Water on Mars" below.

After creating Intuitive Music ep, which felt like a metaphysical purge of many things within, I didn't make any new music for months. I didn't record, or write anything. I made the conscious decision to rest and mentally nourish the vision of my sound, the opposite of the daily songwriting rituals. When I finally felt moved to record, Water on Mars is what I started working on. and it got scratched... twice, until one day, all the elements from years ago to knowledge I've acquired now gave me clarity on what i'd been trying to express through this piece and i found it fitting for it's completion to fall on this New Moon In Scorpio. water on mars is the first phase of my upcoming project #cruescontrol 2017.
