D’Ambrosia Returns With New Single, “Tumblin'”
D’Ambrosia, the Halifax-based musical ensemble returns with their latest release, “Tumblin’.” This marks their third single within the past year, a testament to their prolific creativity. Notably, the song was predominantly crafted by the talented Ryan Cox, further showcasing the band’s evolving artistry.
A reverb-heavy ode to a yearning heart that experiences love in a convoluted way, “Tumblin’” balances vulnerability and determination in a semi-sardonic tone.
“This time around, I wanted to tell a story that carries both hope and demise in the same breath, through the expression of a bittersweet symphony of emotions,” said vocalist Kim D’Ambrogi (she/her). “The song is a reflection on the tumultuous nature of love and the choices we make. The chorus, with its haunting repetition of “Tumblin’ down” captures the feeling of inevitability and the simultaneous acceptance and defiance in the face of uncertain circumstances.”
