Instrumental Pop
South Holland, Netherlands
Overall Impression: Composer and producer José Carlos Alarcón delivers an uplifting and inspirational instrumental, with his release of "Todo Saldrá Bien". This track opens with an intro in 5/4 time in which piano arpeggios outline the harmonic foundation and chord progression, while legato violins and synth bass fill out the sound. Exciting electronic drums drive the rhythm while stirring pop melodies are seamlessly passed between instruments, resulting in a flowing cascade of sonic delights. Fans of contemporary instrumentals and gentle instrumental pop will enjoy the soothing sounds of José Carlos Alarcón's "Todo Saldrá Bien".
Strongest Point(s): Solid production and mix. Nice arrangement and structure, pleasant pop chord progression. Interesting intro, the 5/4 gives it a terrific off-kilter feel. Nice blend of organic and synthetic sounds; the piano, strings and synths mesh together well. Great beat design, exciting rhythmic content. Wonderful melodic sense throughout, sweeping themes that have a wistful yet comforting character. Nice ending, I love the little piano coda. All in all, this is a great piece of instrumental pop that's both soothing and spirited. Very nice work on this tune!
