There is a colourful gentleness to this latest Mark Barnes release that has to be
applauded, the calming content and wonderful use of pause doubly so, Barnes has
become one of the most creative keyboardists around, and his textures on this
brand new single are to be completely admired.
Watercolors has to be Mark’s most tranquil single
thus far, and it is this I simply adore about its construction, there is an
almost dream like quality to this new release that is so pleasurable, whilst
listening, one may drift to gaze at the works of one of the great painters in
this medium in Matisse, or perhaps
the driving source of impressionism
in Claude Monet, whose use of light
in his great works, which is where I feel that Barnes has gone with this most
delightful of manifestations.
The entire track flows, drifts and returns to its base, akin
to the sway of a lily pad on a late summer lake in September. It is a piece
full of texture and promise, colour and light, and in my view perhaps one of
the most artistic offerings ever by the musician, with that being said I can
see this being another hit in the charts for the ever popular artist, its
timeless reverie is bound to encapsulate many fans of truly good instrumental
music, and so it should.
