Russia’s Serge N & his “Midnight Sun” album, reflects a cross pollination of styles. From AC to Pop ; From Music Hall to Techno-Dance

A key element in Serge N’s muse, is a wonderful melodic & strong Vox

In “I Still Love You", with its 4/4 time signature, Serge N casts a shadow on the wall of Soft Cell’s Marc Almond & OMD-[Orchestral Maneuvered In The Dark]

“From Dream To Dream” is an extra ordinary cut. The Vocal work on this tune is extremely competent. As the tempo slows down into the hook, the strengh of the chorus is beautifully composed, adding another highlight to the adept Vox ; Rather a bittersweet, melancholy song. Pulls at the heart-strings

In the tune “You” , you may notice an echo of American Cyndi Lauper ; But of course, The positive vibration is Serge N

Take the tune “One & Only”. One may hear a dash of Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore. But Serge N’s music is all the more pretty & positive, besides being very altruistic in the lyrical sub-plots

“Long Living Death Of The Dream” is quite a song with its synthesis ; From Oboe to Harpsichord ; Pizzicati Strings married to a wonderful & poignant Vocal

Ultimately, Serge N has a plethora of sonic tangents to flow with the glow. Indeed the light & soul of Serge N, is bold in its vulnerability ; A true Romantic alas. Have a listen & dip yourself into the auditory pool of sound & senses, that emote the enigma of Serge N…
