Atlantis
By
David Clavijo

Bearing in mind the country of my residence, my home in Cyprus, which has been suggested many
times as the location for this lost city of Atlantis, this new single from David
Clavijo excited me immensely. The subject matter captured has been
something that has snared my thoughts and imagination for many years.
Here on this brand new single David brings us a fine example
of new age pop that your likely to hear, this genre is flourishing now and
rightly so, with touches of Enigma, a
hint of Mike Oldfield and melodic
vocals that take me back in time to those used on Andy Pickford’s Lughnasad.
However I believe this single is a medium that is working
through love and loss in the only way that can relieve the pain, and that is of
course through music, the loss of a great civilisation can mean emotionally the
same as the loss as a single person once truly adored, it is an interesting
juxtaposition. The chord structures of this song are amazing, they dip into
minor, rise with the major, and the echo vibrations are utterly emotive and
deeply moving.
The melody and the chorus are simply perfect and ideal for
any single that wants to be a huge success, like I am predicting Atlantis will be for Clavijo, this is
without a doubt a step into a new realm for the artist, but search every inch
of this single and you will find greatness, from its Arkenstone symphonic backdrop, to its Oldfield like guitars, one can be in no doubt that my fellow
European composer has manifested something utterly special here, with mega hit
written all over it.
