A grand mirage intricately detailed by fragments of organic instrumentals, Chicago artist Mathien enlists a hive of musicians to unveil “Forever Ain’t Long Enough (To Love You the Way I Want To).” Featuring Soulfood Horns, Desh, and Aaron Paris, this upbeat orchestral composition is wicked funky and outright complex.
With deep, rich drum work at its core “Forever Ain’t Long Enough (To Love You the Way I Want To)” is the unadulterated amalgamation of raw music. Swathed in swing, bounce, and rhythm, this ensemble track manages to move freely with no destination in mind while maintaining a systematic control of its musical abundance. As guitars phase into horns, and vocal samples evaporate into swivel-eyed time signatures, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough (To Love You the Way I Want To)” moves away from electronic soundscapes and taps into the unprocessed musings of what makes music move.
