Akie Bermiss and Wayna Create an Anthem of Empathy and Harmony with “The Sound of Us”
The single “The Sound of Us” is a gentle embrace, the whisper-cry cadence reaching across time to our collective insides. Akie Bermiss and Wayna blend their voices with such dexterity, it is as if they are making a map out of what life resembles no matter how the world may be aligned or not. The song carries a near-mystical resonance, its every beat lifting the burden of difference from our shoulders and challenging us to hear — not just with ears but also in spirit. It is not a song, it is a conversation with your soul, telling you to listen to the harmony in other people. Wayna's voice glints like sunlight cascading through shattered glass, and Bermiss' mellow timbre gently cradles each syllable with a quiet dominion. Together, they help create a sonic even plain where standalone melodic dots are dotted around its majestic symphonic "i." It's a song, but it's also an anthem for empathy; a manifesto set to poetry and spun through silk chords. “The Sound of Us” is a prayer for the world, and may it quiet our dissonance to hear at last that chorus we have had beneath ourselves all along.
