Adrian Brockless’ latest single “Da Sealkie Wife’s Sang” is a breathtaking fusion of Shetland’s traditional folk and classical music. Originally penned by Mary-Ellen Odie, this piece is brought to life by the Aberdeen-based quintet Orchestra Nova. The gentle strings and rich, atmospheric sound beautifully honor Shetland’s cultural roots while offering a refreshing classical twist.
This track, which began as a heartfelt gift to Brockless’ mother, has evolved into a public release that feels both personal and universal. The delicate blend of folk influences with classical arrangements creates an inviting and timeless soundscape. It’s calming, yet engaging, an ideal escape from the hustle of modern music trends.
As someone who deeply appreciates classical music, I found this new release to be nothing short of magical. The traditional instruments and warm production make it feel like a comforting embrace, perfect for anyone looking to clear their mind and reconnect with music that truly speaks to the soul. I highly recommend letting yourself get lost in this beautiful piece. It’s exactly what our modern world needs.
