SINGLE REVIEW: India Arkin – Senseless

Independent and unsigned singer-songwriter India Arkin is already causing something of a buzz. Having toured with indie legends The Feeling earlier this year, it’s clear that those in the know already have spotted something special in Arkin. Her upcoming track, ‘Senseless’, offers an insight into this, illustrating an artist with passion, creativity, and pure drama in her very blood.

The thrilling buzz of early-eras Muse collides with the theatrical bombast of Picture Parlour on this stunning blood-rush of a track. Arkin’s vocals possess a silken glamour that envelops the listener in waves of listless melancholy, the self-pity drenched lyricism brought to life with a cinematic sorrow.

The fuzzy grit of grunge-tinted guitars play out over immense, swinging rhythms. The back half of the track is threaded with a simply phenomenal guitar solo, performed with a real driving passion that you can truly feel; it’s arguably one of the finest musical performances of the year thus far, elevating an already creative track into a genre defying

It’s a remarkable track that places Arkin in a position that wholly deserves your attention. In an era of indie pop minimalism and hedonistic hyper pop maximalism, Arkin has found herself marching to the beat of her own drum, sculpting a sound that is inventive, decadent, and wholly captivating. Watch out for this musician.
