In their swansong single, “Love is Everywhere,” the sprawling international collective Intercontinen7al delivers a final piece that is both a delicate, lilting melody and a powerful testament to their unique, five year global music making project. The track, written by Argentina based Nereo Paulus, is a spacious, mandolin driven folk piece, infused with a cool Latin sensibility that transports the listener to sun soaked Buenos Aires or a quiet corner of Madrid.
The brilliance of Intercontinen7al has always been their ability to seamlessly blend contributions from musicians across all seven continents, yes, even featuring Antarctic percussion in past works, into a cohesive and engaging sound. “Love is Everywhere” is no exception, demonstrating a deft balance of musical traditions and pop awareness, all bathed in lush, heartwarming harmonies that feel instantly familiar, like a rediscovered late era Beatles track. The sentimentality of the title track matches the band’s rich and heartwarming mission.
As the first single from their seventh and final album, the song perfectly encapsulates what made this project so special: authentic “world music” in the truest sense, blending cultural diversity into a unified, beautiful sound. The production is clean, allowing each intricate layer to shine, emphasizing the song’s gentle melody and emotional depth.
“Love is Everywhere” is a masterclass in collaboration, promoting a universal message that transcends borders. It is a soft, beautiful, and deeply moving listen. The band has always aimed to push the boundaries of music. With this release, they achieve a gracious high note, leaving their audience wanting more, the ideal final chapter for an extraordinary musical journey. This is a must listen for fans of diverse and experimental music
