There is a hush that falls before the blooming of spring, and in this hush moves Sad Cypress. Her new single, ‘Memoir,’ arrives veiled. The song breathes of moss-covered ruins, of ivy tangled in lace, of rooms once perfumed with incense and regret.
‘Memoir’ carries a strange, baroque elegance — at times spectral, at times rooted like old trees in the soil of forgotten kingdoms. It limps gently across time, drawing from some pre-modern gloom: something witchy, yes, but far from theatrical. More like a séance whispered alone.

There is a woman behind the sound, but more than that, there is a centuries-old ache, a truth pressed under velvet and bone. ‘Memoir’ feels sewn together from film scores and liturgical dirges. A solitary violin could easily walk beside it. Or the clack of boots on cold marble.
The production allows every element to breathe. Vintage in tone, yet sharp in execution, the song builds its own language — rooted in tradition, filtered through a personal lens. Every detail feels chosen by hand.
SCORE: 9.5/10
It is a revelation wrapped in satin, dark-laced and quietly radiant.
