La Noche Que Nunca Llega Review

La Noche Que Nunca Llega by PATRICIO ANABALON is a South American-based folk experience that evolves and changes throughout the song. The track captures a feeling above all else. It feels sensitive and vulnerable while also elevating the beauty at the core of its composition through its melody and vocal delivery. The strings were the first element that stood out from the get-go.

The track has several layers of string instruments that weave in and out of one another, developing the overall sound. One aspect that stood out is the quickly modulating high register strings used in the track. They contribute to this sense of tenderness and vulnerability implicit in the track’s execution. They also provide a sense of tension with the pace of their delivery. They inject the track with vigor while feeling connected to its sensitive, emotional core. These fast, high-register strings enrich the tonal landscape. They provide contrast to the other elements rhythmically and through timbre. This instrumental choice adds depth to the sonic landscape through that sense of diversity throughout the piece. It also increases the tension through its stark juxtaposition.

The vocals are another strong point. They lead the composition from the front, developing the melody with every trill and run. They communicate so much emotional depth through their delivery alone. The vocalist connects with the uninhibited meaning of the lyrics they are performing. That connection gives this aspect of the track a sense of catharsis, elevating the performance. 

Another subtle aspect of the track that contributes to its tone is the presence of the whistling high-register instrumentation that accompanies the musical breaks in certain sections throughout the song. They explore a different part of the song’s melodic register and build up the textural depth of the track. They also communicate a whistful and melancholic core that adds depth to the emotional subtlety of the song.

La Noche Que Nunca Llega excels in its melodic and emotional tone from start to finish.
