Chris Pellnat’s latest multilingual single is an immediate tearjerker. With its exquisite softness, provocative melodies, and stellar uniqueness, ‘Love is Coming’ is a safe experiment that has gone exceedingly well.
A guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Chris Pellnat is based in Hudson, New York. On his latest release, Pellnat is reassuring a friend that love is coming soon for them, and he delivers this magic via an enchanting blend of English and Arabic singing, the latter provided by Moroccan singer Catalus. Together, the duo showcases arresting chemistry. The gentle and soft piece sounds lovely with its bittersweet chord sequences and simple, moving words.
Built around the hushed beat, buoyant bass line, pads, and Pellnat’s guitars delivering the chords, ‘Love is Coming’ is easy on the senses. With a wonderfully melancholic chorus, sung by Catalus in gorgeous Arabic, the song is balanced and is in a continuous tug between the slow motion and drama of Pellnat’s English verses, and the effortless flow of the colorful chorus. The arrangement plays as big a role in defining the song as do the words or the composition. The soft rock drums, slithering vocal harmonies, and exclusive use of glistening clean guitars elevate the listening experience.
‘Love is Coming’ is warm and wonderful. A loving collaboration, a charming array of gentle and effortless deliveries, and a tastefully built soundscape, Chris Pellnat’s latest release is an astounding one.
