"Scream" takes me back to the first time I ever experience Submotion Orchestra. With their newest single, the New York outfit Momentum has created a world populated by jazz and neo-soul influences, albeit with a modern touch.

Even though this is a slow burner, by the time we arrive at the mid-section the immersive strings bait our attention with their grandiosity and cinematic flair. When the tension is finally released we find ourselves welcomed by the calming lead vocals paired with dreamy keys, eventually leading us into the outro.

"The composition’s name “SCREAM” is the band’s take on growing up in the modern world. As Grady Tesch, the bandleader and vibraphonist, explains, “it’s called SCREAM, but this song is written and performed at a whisper”
