Matilda Marigolds Fights Suffoicating Emotion With the Joy of Small Moments in "BEEPBOOP"
Indie singer-songwriter Matilda Marigolds melts mindfulness into her music on her latest single, "BEEPBOOP_." The track expertly depicts the subtle, tender moments that transcend communication. Inspired by a delicate moment shared with a former partner, the song's title turns into a sensation, one meant to acknowledge those soft, understated moments in our daily lives.
The single opens with a cerebral collection of spacey synths, gentle guitar strums, and lilting piano riffs, ushering in Marigolds's lulling and dreamy vocals. Although the production may appear apathetic or understated on the surface, all-consuming emotions lie underneath. She croons to the ether on the hook, "Let my skin settle into my bones / Let the soil become my home."
"When I made 'BEEPBOOP_,' I was literally suffocating in emotion," shares Marigolds. "The only thing that could pull me out of that was writing about small moments that brought me joy. It was so strange, I was inverted almost! All of my feelings were on the outside in this messy vomit, and my solace was inward. Meditative sadness. A deep understanding that this had to be felt."
While inspiration strikes from the unique artistry of Saya Gray and FKA Twigs, Marigolds has been able to truly curate her ethereal sound by exploring a newfound passion within creative writing. Her creative expression continues to diversify through each moment of reflection, analysis, and growth within her relationships with others and herself, allowing her to hone in on developing her experimental, thought-provoking pop soundscape.
