“Metaphysical” marries pop and alternative rock with a cinematic sense of magnificence. The cut swells with a seductive swagger before lashing out with a hard-rock-inspired chorus that crashes like a wave, anthemic, dynamic, impossible to ignore. It’s the sort of chorus that doesn’t just play in your ears, but sticks in your head long after the song has finished.
Most striking of all is the way Ornate wields her creativity as a tool for connection. Her warmth and musical imagination have been praised for good reason, and here she channels them into something that feels inspiring without ever being too sentimental. “Metaphysical” is a song that calls anyone who would listen to peer past the surface of physical differences and to remind themselves, in so many words, that we’re all cut from the same cloth. In a fractured world, Gabrielle Ornate comes through with a song that doesn’t just sound good; it feels necessary.
