A haunting folk sound with resolute perspectives on moving on from a relationship’s demise, “Parabellum” is a new single from Atlanta-based artist Maria Deirisarri. Florida-based artist Corey Kilgannon also adds his talents, contributing musically as well as producing the track, in addition to production work from Jacob Hudson. The enthralling “Parabellum” draws its influence from Deirisarri’s sudden and painful split from a former beloved, serving as a tactful confrontation with a striking message: take what you desire, but prepare for the repercussions.

“Parabellum” consumes right away. “Let me go to the ocean,” Deirisarri’s stirring vocals let out, accompanied by quaint guitar strums that invoke a chilling mystique. A beckoning to traverse into the oceans, mountains, and forest consume with their introspection, drawing from the diversity of landscapes and personal experience in bolstering an artful perspective on living. A reflective vocal presence eases in seamlessly, adding a spine-tingling impact. “Take whatever you want, whatever you see,” they culminate. The riveting vocal layers — repeating a “let me go, and leave me be” ethos — combine with gorgeous guitar work for an impactful folk success from Maria Deirisarri and Corey Kilgannon.
