Honey Gentry - Under Taurus
Let yourself fall under the spell of Honey Gentry's dreamlike vocals, with her latest celestial baroque pop anthem Under Taurus. Taken from her upcoming EP Different Water set for release on 23 May, Under Taurus sparkles with the ethereal essence of aery, echoing synths, gentle piano lines, and velvet vocals all blending together flawlessly to create a transcendent ambiance that entices you to immerse yourself in.
Honey Gentry shares, "It reminded me of when I was a child in the countryside with my dad and he would wake me up on a clear night and we’d go outside and spot shooting stars. We’re always talking about space. But then as you get older, you lose your childlike ability to say things how you see them; because it makes another person happier if you see what they see. So the song was born out of that feeling of moulding yourself into another person’s desires in order to make them happy"
