Find yourself wonderfully lost and full of wanderlust in “TAKE ME”, a new track from artist Ciinderella Balthazar. Going into listening to this song with no expectations, I was completely blown away and left in awe. Balthazar’s voice undeniably draws you in from the start with the professional level of craftsmanship and pure soul she’s put into this song. She cleverly uses layering to back her voice in important, crucial parts where the lyrics being sung can seemingly connect to the audience – specifically with the line, “Take me along with you.” Although there are elements of electronic music implemented that set this track apart from the realm of “easy listening” or “singer-songwriter”, there are qualities to Balthazar’s style that bring a nostalgic, warm feeling to you in the same way that these genres do. While listening to “TAKE ME”, I felt as though I’d been wrapped in a comforting embrace that many musicians strive to create. With Balthazar, it feels natural and honest – as though it flowed from her, and that these feelings could not be forced out just for the purpose of creating music.
“TAKE ME” is a song meant to inspire hope and display a message of emotional strength. While the world of pop music can branch off into many differing genres and cannot be limited to one sound, this allows people to explore and experiment with all aspects of their music. Ciinderella Balthazar not only brilliantly experiments with pop music within this song, but she additionally deserves to earn a name for herself in creating pop music with true, pure meaning and purpose. In my opinion, it is rare to find a pop artist who can not only bend genres but also connect with audiences across the board, human to human – this song does exactly that. The darker, more alternative-leaning sound of “TAKE ME”, along with Balthazar’s soulful and deeper voice, reminds me of musicians such as Florence and the Machine and Celeste. While Balthazar has created a unique sound, the overall structure and themes within her music drew me to these comparisons. As Balthazar continues to explore this sound and create eagerness to listen to her upcoming EP release this September, I cannot wait to see what areas of music she continues to delve into.

In an article posted by fashion-based website “The Deck”, Balthazar is featured wearing a red velvet single breasted suit. In the photos shown within this feature, her strong poses speak for themselves, but she is quoted saying, “To be a woman is to be completely free, wild, strong, loving and caring”. This message translates beautifully both to her fashion and musical careers, and overall embodies what Balthazar brings to the table.
