Norwich-based singer-songwriter Jasmine Catherine steps into a world of sweeping orchestration, six-part vocal harmonies, and distorted vocal textures with her new single “The Dark Days.” Drawing inspiration from the high-fantasy epic ambience of the Shadow and Bone book series and the legendary soundtracks of Game of Thrones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Lord of the Rings, the track fuses cinematic scope with pop sensibility to deliver something both grand and emotionally intimate. At its heart, “The Dark Days” tells a story of forbidden love, dark desires, and the ultimate triumph of light prevailing through chaos, with orchestral strings underscoring the ache of longing while six-part harmonies soar above a landscape of resistance and redemption. Jasmine comments, “I wanted to create a song that felt like walking across broken battlegrounds and finding something pure in the ashes, a song that resembles a battle of destiny and desire. The idea of forbidden love and dark desire seemed tied to that moment of reckoning — and when the light prevails, it doesn’t feel easy. It feels hard-won.” Born from Jasmine’s lifelong love of fantasy and storytelling, the single marks the next chapter in her evolution as an artist who builds worlds, appealing to fans of cinematic composers like John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and John Powell while drawing in pop audiences with immediate melody and hooks.
