Korn and Evanescence will be hitting the road together for the first time since their fondly remembered 2007 Family Values trek, which followed Jonathan Davis and Amy Lee's stunning 'Freak on a Leash' duet from Korn's MTV Unplugged appearance earlier that year. That through all the tribulation, “all praises due.'Īll these conceptual elements culminate in a track that’s incredibly self-reflective and optimistic.Next week (August 16th), one of the biggest tours of the summer will commence. The song starts and ends with a reaffirming message for the audience. The track feels very spiritual, playing into a healing theme present in the lyrical content from Scienze and DeVaughn who guide the listener through a form of prayer in the final 20 seconds of the song. Such as his voice being used a reoccurring sound element in the instrumental.Īll the attributes of the track come together well to create a sonically synergetic listening experience that showcases every contributor working in complete harmony. He comes off like a major contributor to the track, performing beyond the means of a normal feature. The chorus is beautiful with some moments sounding a bit overbearing due to the mixing, but I still thoroughly enjoyed DeVaughn’s contributions. It’s very minor, showing up in the back to let you know that it’s present without being the driving force behind the beat.Īlong with the introspective bars are some beautiful harmonies provided by Raheem DeVaughn. There’s even an Outkast Elevators sample thrown in the mix. The loops of the synths mimic the movement of waves, which gives it this fluid influx of sound that’s reminiscent of a current moving in ways that aren’t predictable. The drums are actively present but take a step back to give the spotlight to the synth chords. The instrumental is one of the most important elements present, with Divine’s production sonically creating this emotion through a beat that perfectly matches Scienze’s vocal performance. This is evident in the fluid, wavy instrumental provided by King I Divine and the vocals by both Scienze and DeVaughn. Water plays a big motif in the song itself while motivating the elements of the song. This provides context for a deeper, more meaningful song that unfolds more and more in its four-minute run time. “Cool Water” is deeply intimate, with Scienze reflecting on his status on Earth while giving grace and thanks.

His words prove to have real intention behind every syllable, performing a soliloquy between himself and a higher power. The instrumental is very calm and compliments it well, providing an easy rhythm to flow on. Scienze’s flow on this track is impeccably fluid. With a little help from singer Raheem DeVaughn, the result is a track that is pious in nature and reflective in thought. “Cool Water” is a soulful collaborative effort between New York emcee Scienze and producer King I Divine. New York duo Divine ScienZe have connected with Raheem DeVaughn for an easy listening track that's as chill as it is seductive.
