Berenice Scott
"Walls Cave In"
Words by Leo Cloeson
With her debut single "Walls Cave In,"
Berenice Scott is a singer-songwriter with a real quality to her work. Drawing
on many inspirations from different areas of the world – her parents are
creative who moved around for work in her younger days – Scott has settled on a
truly charming sound.
Opening with a simple piano part that loops
around a simple chord pattern, you could be forgiven for dismissing this song
for its lack of complication. It’s all based on this chord structure that
circles around, with no showy ideas or solos, just a simple layered vocal to
give it color.
But it’s this simplicity that it this
song’s strength. The light vocal sits perfectly in the production, smoothly
complimenting the simplicity of the piano part, with some light percussion to
keep things moving. Simple parts on their own, but all coming together to
create something akin to the likes of Sarah McLachlan.
After a couple of listens, the feel and
tone seeps under your skin, and that chorus lyric and melody – "Walls Cave
In/Sky Falls Down" – sits in your mind. If you’re looking for a beautiful track
with a genuine, light touch, you’ll enjoy this.
