“What If” by Soran is a song that feels both hazy and comforting. It captures the sadness of loss, and the reflection and wisdom that comes from doing so.
"What If” consists of a series of rhetorical questions, adding to the already existential atmosphere of the song. Soran begs and asks his listeners to hear his plea of needing someone and missing their presence, and the emptiness that arises from their absence.
The production is perfectly reflective of the somber mood of the song. An ambient and faded choir mimics that of haunting thoughts and intense emotions. The acoustic guitar and soft vocals allows listeners to fall into the moody and emotional world that is “Soran.”
When asked about “What If,” Soran states the following:
“What if is a song that speaks about a time that is now pretty far in my mind. The song is about stopping overthinking and living the moment. I am really proud of the writing.”
With his ever evolving style Soran has truly landed with his explorative concoction of alternative RnB, Lo-fi, spacey electronics and buttery soft vocals all of which are indicative of his unique musical style.
Soran radiates honesty throughout his lyricism and delivers this via an authentic confessional style narrative. Using his music as a method of helping uncover and discover who he is as a person and as an artist, piece by piece, layer by layer, Soran’s unique puzzle is slowly slotting into place, revealing a coming of age story like no other.
