Only a select few possess the innate ability to shatter hearts through music. The mere sound of Nicklas Stenemo's voice sends a shiver down my spine, captivating me instantly. There exists within this music an immense emotional intensity — a palpable tension, a profound and piercing sorrow, an unwavering honesty, and a depth of truth and feeling that renders indifference impossible. I've long admired KITE's skill in translating emotions into lyrics, and on 'Glassy Eyes', the vocals resonate with a trembling, vibrating essence that cuts to the core and evokes goosebumps. This track stands as one of their defining pieces, exuding the solemnity of an anthem, the simplicity of a minimalist poem, and an almost symphonic beauty. Intriguingly, it thrives on simplicity in sound, with the vocals taking center stage in their entirety — captivatingly beautiful, intensely dramatic, and undeniably charismatic. It's a song of profound beauty, one that wrenches the heart — as is often the case with this remarkable project.
