Obscurities Eyes

Fifth Element’s ‘Obscurities Eyes,’ a rousing ballad that finds triumph in solemnity

ABET Publishing is proud to present Fifth Element’s “Obscurities Eyes,” an operatic ballad that emboldens isolation and affirms Lynne Walton’s credentials as the Space Goddess from a distant star sent to tantalize the depths of our condition.

There is triumph to be found in the acceptance of our destiny. Whether that destiny is as we would have planned, one we fought for or one we couldn’t escape, the moment we embrace our history is the moment we own our future. In “Obscurities Eyes”, Fifth Element positively asserts their claim to an interstellar destiny.

Building from the intimate warmth of crackling vinyl to a sonic canvas as ambitious as it is broad. Fifth Element seamlessly fuse, organic and electronic, digital and physical, East and West to craft a sound that spans the breadth of our collective influence. It’s as if, perched atop some distant celestial form, with the perspective of a stranger, Fifth Element have found the insight to combine possibilities from the entire pantheon of Earth’s creativity.

Through the vastness of a cosmic ocean, effortlessly, with grandeur and grace, amid a colour palette that swirls and momentums that shift, one thing, like a bastion in a storm, remains; sincere and sensitive, bold and passionate, with a primal female energy. The vocals of Lynne Walton. Soaring atop the entire musical Universe like a sailed angel on a solar flare. In the glissando of her range, with all the conviction of a solitary lioness, proud, knowing and assured. Walton’s voice reaches from a cosmic soundscape as if, in solitary isolation, our own planet sings her lament, echoing the pangs of life that, in the black abyss, hang suspended, nestled upon the blanket of gravity. A collective flow as Universal as time.

There is a weight to this track. A sincerity which, when experienced in tandem with the song’s visual counterpart, fulfils itself and takes us deeper. The video explores a web of ideas, unfurling through travel, interconnection, the artistry of photography, the bustle of a city, the surrealism of an airport, the wander of a child’s eyes. Fragments that compound in meaning under this musical banner. A cosmic soundscape, one of Earth’s finest voices; a tapestry of longing and a journey through stardust.
