Evoking the nostalgia of childhood stories with a dark twist, "In The Woods" by Sophia Bavishi is a chilling exploration of hiding and fears. This bold song revolves around secrets and silence, using the vastness of the forest to create an abyss-like image of looming trouble. Repetition is hauntingly purposeful throughout the lyrics with eerie phrases like "whispers, whispers, here and there" that send shivers down your spine. Referencing Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood, the song paints the tales that carry an innocent sentimentality with a darker shade of truth, leaving listeners locked into the entrancing view of the lyrics.
Ominous vocalizing opens the song, looping in the background of Sophia's entrancing dark vocals through the verse, along with rhythmic percussion. The pre-chorus in an intense build, stringing haunting, breathy vocals together with percussion until a switch in the tune. Bold electronic instrumentals bring a transcendent feeling to the chorus, as vocals loudly and slowly working through the lyrics "here they come". The power behind Sophia's beautiful vocals infuse the lyrics with force, gliding through eerie highs and projecting wonderfully gloomy lows. Enjoy the wild power that comes through the chilling sound of this dark electropop track.
