Kris Offers a Way to Break the Cycle of Wishing Away Most of the Week with “Fallin’ As Usual”

The lyrics of her introductory single “Fallin’ as Usual” from Kris’ debut EP “Where do I Begin?” touch upon the thought-provoking theme of taking time for granted, which resonates deeply with the younger generation. Kris’s fresh perspective on the issue highlights the struggles of people in her age group, who often fail to make the most of every moment. The pressure to enjoy life in our twenties is something that the previous generation also faced, and Kris’s music brings that out beautifully.

The vocals in the song are impressive, and Kris’s voice is soulful and distinct. The unique blend of various instrumentation throughout the track, including a piano section that adds a classically inspired element, enhances the listening experience even further.

A cinematic flair endures poignantly on Kris’ “Fallin’ As Usual” with a soulful, vibrant sound. Her background studying music theory and her love of pop radiates throughout the arrangement. She sings with such clarity, bringing elements of hope into the finely woven verses. The piano resonates deeply as the emotional cadence becomes all-engrossing. Interplay amongst the band ensures that Kris’ vocals, alongside her Chopin-like playing, are rich. Many of the lyrics explore this idea of simply trying to get through life rather than properly living it, resenting days of the week when they offer small, simple pleasures.

The song opens with a peaceful aura. The decay of the piano chords adds to the stately hue of the procession. While it looks towards the future, it strongly displays the carpe diem sentiment, allowing much of the sound to unspool in riveting and memorable ways. Rhythms embrace a pastoral bliss, for they retain a significant degree of restraint. The ebb and flow of energy give the song a cyclical approach. While quiet at first, she lets the enthusiasm for life grow, with every verse offering a new and fascinating way to look at life. Her voice, soft though it has an understated strength, lets everything else emerge out of this impulse, with the piece becoming life-altering in the last few moments.

Kris delves into a sense of cautious optimism, of looking for the sunnier side of things with “Fallin’ As Usual.”
