sordid - falling/feeling
Salt Lake City-based producer sordid has just released his highly anticipated track ‘falling/feeling’, and it’s nothing short of a cinematic triumph. Dropped via Bangers Only, this genre-blurring masterpiece combines Trap, Future Bass, Vapor Twitch, Electronic, and Lounge influences into a soundscape that’s both intimate and expansive.
Rooted in minor 9th strings and trap-inspired rhythms, ‘falling/feeling’ is a deeply emotional journey through the fragile and powerful moments of love. The track’s standout features include punchy yet dreamy drops at :42 and 2:05, with a reflective bridge that offers a moment of introspection before building to a breathtaking finale. The production is rich with dynamic contrasts—from sidechain-gated strings to subtle arps and a resonant kick/808 bassline—creating a layered experience that rewards repeated listens.
The true heart of ‘falling/feeling’ lies in its vocals, which blend Frou Frou’s “Are You Falling in Love?” with vintage clips to craft a narrative that feels both nostalgic and timeless. Themes of vulnerability, doubt, and hope weave through the track, capturing the tension of love’s highs and lows. Sordid’s ability to channel these emotions into a cinematic trap framework showcases his growth as an artist.
With ‘falling/feeling’, sordid delivers a heartfelt anthem for late-night introspection, proving once again his mastery of crafting music that resonates on a deeply personal level. Stream this beauty down below <3
