Chris Rusin’s new single “Cinders” opens his album “Songs From A Secret Room” with gentle sound and heartfelt emotion. The song begins with a soft acoustic instrumental that immediately sets a peaceful tone. When Chris’s voice enters, it feels honest and calm, and the moment Katie Wise’s vocals join in, the harmony feels effortless and heartfelt. Together, they create something truly touching, it’s the kind of duet that feels intimate and I love it.
The production is clean and gives every instrument its space. The guitar is beautiful and the songwriting feels honest, like a personal reflection on love and the pain of letting go. There’s a calm sadness in the lyrics, but also a quiet strength in how it’s delivered. I really loved how the song stays simple, no unnecessary layers or overproduction, just music that speaks straight from the heart. The melodies are easy to get lost in and the harmonies make it even more memorable.
Out of the whole album, “Cinders” was the one that stayed with me. It’s a song that feels fragile and strong and that’s what makes it so special.
