Stemin ft Chiara Stroia – Falling (2021)

Stemin touched on feelings of optimism, self-discovery and hopefulness with his single ‘Our Universe, Our Galaxy’. He is now joined by Chiara Stroia for an enveloping journey, filled with nuances and the dreaminess of the galaxy. The single takes the colourful sounds of his music to a new level with insightful intentions, pulsing beats and beautifully intertwined vocals.

With a strong pop and neo-soul influence, the single touches on the style that forms the foundation of Stemin’s upcoming album Unspoken Dreams. Adding unique vocal touches and layered melodics to a rich soundscape, the pair draw you into their duet and make you want to stay there forever. Truthfulness and magic deliveries form the cornerstones of the single as the music builds to a vibrant climax.



Th drums that roll through the opening of ‘Falling’ grab your attention with their light shuffle. As the beats keep you moving into the soundscape, the higher ambient sigh of easiness soothes your soul. There is something about the tender touch of the music that smooths the rough edges of your soul and leaves you feeling lighter. While the melody appears relatively minimalistic, the soft sounds perfectly cradle the vocals and lift them higher. Later in the track, the keys bring a neo-soul silkiness to the single that elevates the entire song. You can feel the breaking dawn of a new day through the climax of the melody, which fills you with the good vibes that only dawn can bring.

Stroia’s vocals gently take your hand early in the single before Stemin’s vocals join her. Their vocals combine for the perfect duet, filling both the high and low layers of the music. Each shines with the power of their vocals that are soulful and smooth. The RnB flow of Stemin’s vocals smiles at the soulful rise of Stroia’s performance. As their performance enthrals the senses, they turn your face to the pink light of the dawn. At times, their performance is like that fresh breath of air that hits your face first thing in the morning, as you watch the light of day slowly creep over the horizon.

With a soft RnB and neo-soul embrace, Stemin and Chiara Stroia bring the light of dawn to our ears while soothing the rough edges of the soul in ‘Falling’. The music is delicate and light as it lifts you up and places you on a soft cushion of clouds. The dual vocals combine perfectly for a rich and soulful movement that wraps you in silken threads.
