KYOKO BAERTSOEN : Kyoko

Don't Look Back
Rework, additional sounddesign and music mix by Kevin.

The most surprising and personal track is right at the end. In "Don't Look Back," Kyoko reflects on the choices she made in life, on balancing the delicate balance between family and career; a distorted piano, an acoustic guitar, some subtle synth lines, and some brass instruments, some of which are not real, complete the sonic palette of this haunting song, which starts as a slow track, gains symphonic allure along the way, and then fades out in resignation. - Review DaMusic
