Each Measure Feature: Robert McGinty

FEATURE

Robert McGinty could compose the world’s lullabies from here on out as far as I’m concerned. 

His new release, “Return to Lullaby Mountain,” is one of effortless grace. The melody pushes and pulls at the right moments, allowing the listener to become spellbound by the timing of each note. 

McGinty hails from Manchester, England, where he also recorded this track. He is known for weaving in inspiration from pianists like Richard Clayderman and Ludovico Einaudi in his work. “Return to Lullaby Mountain is no different.” The track has the ability to invite listeners in with a soft nudge. This propels the visitor into a warm home with hot tea at the ready. The room has accommodating cookies and chocolates to share. The atmosphere is comfortable and bright-spirited. All seems well as the wordless narrator drifts into lore of saddened tales next to a well-stocked fire. You can’t help but be captivated and engrossed in the world within.

The introduction of “Return to Lullaby Mountain” is careful, almost hesitant in the delivery of each note. Lured in by pure curiosity, listeners find themselves in a dance of explanation. Then a hint of slight rebellion by minute 2. Shortly thereafter, a lovely trilling ensues, before returning to its familiar melody. A little more harsh now, the keys drop, driving the point of the story to a resolving end.

“Return to Lullaby Mountain” is a treasure to the ears. It could be used to portray dramatics on a movie screen or complement a serene landscape. The track is versatile and undeniably emotional. Whether you’re deep in thought on a long commute home or admiring a mountainous view, “Return to Lullaby Mountain” will be a trusty guide. It is a modern-day classic that will undoubtedly turn heads and ears in the year ahead. I can’t wait to hear Robert McGinty weave more magic into the ether.
