Australian-based Kiwi producer Shivnesh Sumer, better known as Cymbol, has released his latest single, “About a Girl.” The track is a romantic masterstroke, combining lush instrumentation with soulful vocals, in a truly stirring measure.
The track begins with muted acoustic strums and delicate electric guitar plucks, creating a sense of intimacy and longing. As the song progresses, the beat builds, adding layers of complexity and texture. The vocals, shared between Cameron Louw and This Pale Fire, are both passionate and vulnerable, conveying a detailed range of emotions that come with infatuation.
“About a Girl” is a reminder of the power of love, and the beauty that can be found in even the simplest moments. It’s also typical of Cymbol’s talent as a producer and songwriter. Less clubby than his previous tunes, this one leans hard on the feels.
“About a Girl” is also a beacon for Cymbol’s upcoming album, Distractions. The album is expected to be released later this year, and it is sure to be a major statement from the young producer. This latest track has shown that Cymbol is capable of creating music that is both sonically stunning and emotionally resonant. If you’re touched by nostalgic expression and smooth production, there’s a good chance “About a Girl” will stay with you long after you’ve heard it.
