Vanbur é uma das descobertas frescas destas semanas. Logo aos primeiros segundos da canção “Human” senti uma extrema empatia, uma espécie de diluição nas vibrações sonoras que me levaram por emoções e paisagens tão fortes quanto sensíveis. Vanbur é um duo composto por Jessica Jones e Tim Morrish, dois compositores já com experiência no universo cinematográfico:
It’s possible you’ve already heard the work of Jessica Jones and Tim Morrish in the cinema or your living room, seeing as the pair have spent the last few years working as prolific film and television scoring composers. The duo’s combined credits include BAFTA nominated film Pili and BBC2’s upcoming series Scandal as well as additional music cues for films such as Aquaman and Netflix series The Alienist. Jessica is a Scottish BAFTA award winning composer and has also featured as a vocalist on productions such as Netflix’s upcoming film Lost Girls and ITV’s The Good Karma Hospital. The pair have also scored advertising campaigns for brands such as Barbour, Levi’s and Bose.
É agora em nome próprio que se assumem e o primeiro EP, homónimo ao primeiro single – Human – será editado dia 17 de Janeiro. Escusado será dizer que entre a voz belíssima e etérea de Jessica e a forte composição instrumental, temos em Vanbur um projecto musical que mais do que uma promessa é já uma garantia de sons ricos e vibrantes. Sobre este primeiro single:
Lead single ‘Human’ grew out of Jones’ experiments around a vocal riff, which eventually became the basis of the chorus. “The production grew out of some layered vocal experiments which became a song about lighting a fire from within.” says Jones. “As the climate protests started happening in London this year, the song morphed into a piece about collective change, and the energy and power of many people uniting”.
E a letra termina com “Here now to ignite” e não poderia ser mais apropriado. Estamos prontos para que Vanbur inflame os palcos e nos arrebate com as suas canções, a sua (também) forma de activismo.

Intention by design
and the drops have fallen
oh we’re only human
We found our hidden
Light up believing
Take them by surprise
Another world in sight
Feel the power forming
oh we’re only human
We found our hidden
Light up believing
Moved by the beat of time
Here now to ignite
