Tiphanie Doucet – My Own Way

Outstanding French singer-songwriter Tiphanie Doucet has released “My Own Way” a marvelous indie composition that will immediately end up on your playlist. This particular song is her second single this year, serving as an adequate composition that vividly showcases all her ideas and abilities. Following the footsteps of “Letters-Outro,” another marvelous song released this year, Tiphanie Doucet also brings many innovations in writing, composing, arranging, recording, and producing. Perhaps “My Own Way” carries all the fundamental elements of indie folk music, but you’ll stumble upon many different but complementary subgenres along the way. She incorporated some of the finest properties borrowed from alt-folk, folk-pop, indie pop, indie rock, and acoustic rock into this mesmerizing sonic equation, so “My Own Way” is not only a song for those into singer-songwriter music, but for true fans who appreciate indie numbers assembled with heart and soul. Of course, these additional elements serve as more than necessary enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other details that uplift her latest song on an entirely new level, while Tiphanie remains loyal to the primary sonic direction. Therefore, these experimentations with many different but complementary music genres resulted in a mesmerizing indie rock number worth repeating over and over again.

As soon as you press play, you’ll stumble upon Tiphanie Doucet marvelous voice. She skillfuly glides over low, mid, and high notes, emphasizing all the segments and orchestrations with such ease. Her sincere, confident, powerful vocal presence command attention while the softness in her vocal delivery guide the listeners on this ear-appealing sonic voyage. She thoroughly planned the entire structure, so you’ll notice how every mentioned segment arrives with calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal instrumentations. Each of these instuments plays a significant role in this sonic equation. The soft, delicate, mesmerizing piano leads and keys shape up such cathartic atmosphere, building the perfect backdrop for all her vocal articulations. In the meantime, catchy, hypnotic, addictive themes, melodies, harmonies, chord progressions, delicate accentuations and other sonic maneuvers delivered on acoustic and semi-distorted guitars add another dosage of complexity. The interplay between rhyhtm and lead guitars doesn’t overwhelms the ambiance, but it improves it to another level. Doucet thought about everything, and her skills and talent shine from scratch to finish.

Of course, this magnificent indie folk journey wouldn’t be complete without rock-solid rhythm section. You’ll hear how equally intricate, vividly hearable, warm-sounding basslines provide more than necessary heaviness, depth, and clarity while also binding all the mentioned instrumentations with drums. The outstanding drumming directs the groove and tempo with soft, moderate, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics, but also keeps all the orchestrations fully in line. Tiphanie Doucet proves she’s one of the finest singer-songwriters whose impressive abilites go beyond comprehension during each section of the song. Her experience, skills, talent, ideas, and musicianship resonate in every vocal, note, and beat delivered with such passion, precision, and finesse, demonstrating that indie folk still has so much to offer. The single is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
