“Illusions of Amethyst” by Jacqueline Cordes is a musical work that feels both ancient and new. The very first notes evoke a sense of homecoming with their dark and beautiful tone. The piano-driven melody sways gently, like a fragile waltz unfolding in the dim light of an empty room. Rooted in a minor key, the piece carries deep emotional weight, while ambient background textures lend a ghostly, and almost otherworldly quality. There is no need for lyrics in “Illusions of Amethyst” each note feels like a thought once felt but never spoken aloud.
One of the most unique aspects of the track is Jacqueline’s synesthesia. To her, “Illusions of Amethyst” is colored in purple. Knowing this adds another layer of meaning once you’re aware of it, you can feel that color in the music. Purple, as both a visual and sonic impression carries a calm yet mysterious energy. The official music video enhances that mood without being heavy-handed. It flows like the sound itself, unapologetically Jacqueline, inviting listeners deeper into her Chromaverse. The filmic movements blend effortlessly with the cadence of the music, bringing the piece to life like a moving painting that mirrors your emotions.
At just 22, Jacqueline Cordes has already built a distinct identity through her neoclassical, cinematic style. “Illusions of Amethyst” is more than just a track it’s a part of a world she’s crafting, one built from color, emotion, and sound. With her upcoming album ‘Frozen Star’, it’s clear she’s shaping something immersive. If this single is any indication, the full album will be filled with moments that linger long after the music ends. Jacqueline isn’t just making songs; she’s creating emotional landscapes for us to step into.
