Elodie Gervaise nearly whispers in the close up vocal delivery as if in confidence with listener of “King of Cups.” It’s fitting for a song that on the surface seems to be an ode to an ideal lover but is really a kind of mantra of the reconciliation within oneself and loving oneself the one needs to be first and foremost through symbolic imagery through the kind of archetype represented by the tarot figure of named in the title. Gervaise’s vocals float through lightly bouncing rhythms and circling swells of background vocals like a trap style beat crafted for her words of creative visualization and focusing on manifesting within oneself the traits one seeks in the world around you. It’s almost like a spoken word piece with dreamlike resonance and both introspective and expansive. Listen to “King of Cups” on Spotify and follow Elodie Gervaise on Instagram.
