Having more women representation in music that used to be a male-dominated field, shows how much of its landscape is changing. Hence, it’s nice to hear Koburg, a one-woman band who writes her own music and performs all the vocals and instruments. She continues to break boundaries with Painted Stars that demonstrated her ability to produce strikingly beautiful melodies.
Painted Stars fuses a symphonic metal and gothic rock, with heavy guitars and pulsing rhythms. The track started with Koburg’s ethereal and haunting voice, echoes and hums that sends you into a vast shadow realm, similar to its album cover. After this, it will build up into heavy guitar riffs that are both cinematic and intense.
The arrangement of the song is very intentional, every element and symphonic layers adds depth and emotions. The lyrics, on the other hand, are just as strong and epic as the components combined to create this masterpiece. The “rise my painted star and weave those dreams” feels empowering and liberating.
Overall, the track will lift you into mythic heights and is perfect for people who love alternative and dark genres. If you love songs that evoke strong imagery and emotional catharsis, Koburg’s music will satisfy the need for gothic elements and dramatic orchestration. Give Painted Stars a good spin and add it to your goth/metal playlist!
