Artistic expression today has been painted as dull gray strokes by lackluster musicians across the board of every genre. While many of these artists have the praise and backing of various multimedia platforms, they fail to inspire thought provocation with their so called ‘art’.
Although some may not think of covers as brightly filled canvases, shinigami has the soul and talent to prove them all wrong. With his recent rendition of “Hearts Burst Into Fire” by Bullet For My Valentine, shinigami has proven himself as a beam of true artistry with his cover of the song.
Crickets, raindrops, and a gently sustaining piano begin “hearts burst into fire.” Shortly thereafter, shinigami graces listeners with a swooning ballad. Where Bullet For My Valentine brought their song to life with an uptempo jam lead by guitar, shinigami truly glosses his version over with his own signature melodic style.
You’re not alone // I know I’m far from home // Do you remember me at all? // I’m leaving
Produced by shinigami, the instrumental alone is outrightly covered in heart wrenching emotion. Along with the lone piano, shinigamis voice will undoubtedly capture audiences with his heartfelt conviction of sincerity throughout the song.
As he has continued to mature throughout his work, shinigami has also began to define his career with multiple different landmarks. These landmarks include an interview with The FADER, performing with sensational pop-punk band Neck Deep, and having yet another album in the works. While the aforementioned highlights are only a portion of wonder in shinigamis short career, they have cemented a promising beginning.
