Aaron Fross unveils her new single ‘Cherry Blossom’, a captivating and ethereal piano piece that marks a powerful return to her solo career after a four-year hiatus.
A delicate and introspective track, ‘Cherry Blossom’ showcases Fross’s ability to blend minimalist composition with deeply emotional storytelling, creating a soundscape that evokes both heartache and hope.
‘Cherry Blossom’ is a song of contrasts — a delicate reflection on the fleeting nature of beauty, woven into a minimalist piano arrangement with sparse, poignant lyrics. Inspired by Fross’s personal journey and her lifelong love for art, the track explores the bittersweet reality of experiencing something beautiful, only to lose it as time passes. Describing it as a “bittersweet eulogy,” Fross captures the essence of life’s transience — a theme reflected in the ephemeral nature of cherry blossoms themselves.
The song’s simplicity serves as a testament to Fross’s artistic vision, allowing the message to speak louder than any grand orchestral arrangement. While originally composed eight years ago, ‘Cherry Blossom’ has now been distilled into its purest form, a snapshot of emotional depth and musical elegance. Fross teases the release of a longer version in the future, but for now, this singular rendition offers listeners a reflective and meditative experience.
Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, Aaron Fross has always been surrounded by music. Her grandfather, Jonas Trinkunas, was one of the founders of the largest pagan community in Lithuania, and Fross grew up immersed in folk music and fairy tales. This rich cultural heritage, combined with her own modern influences, has shaped her unique artistic voice. Fross seamlessly blends Lithuanian folk traditions with contemporary pop, cinematic, and ethereal sounds, drawing comparisons to artists such as Enya, Freya Ridings, Adele, Sia, and Annie Lennox.
Fross’s journey into music began at an early age when she spent ten years studying music theory in Lithuania. However, it was during her time in London that Fross truly found her voice, leaving behind the rigid structures of traditional music education to pursue a more experimental, heart-driven approach to songwriting. This shift led her to form collaborations with bands like Kulgrinda and Double Aces, but it was only when she took the leap into a solo career that she felt she could fully bring her artistic vision to life.
Her recent experiences in the Lord of the Rings orchestra concerts, where she toured as a lead soloist, further inspired her artistic evolution, reconnecting her to the emotional depth and cinematic qualities of music. ‘Cherry Blossom’ is the result of years of creative exploration and personal growth — a work that balances the intimate with the grand, the fleeting with the eternal.
Recorded in London with producer Nix Bakx, ‘Cherry Blossom’ is a testament to Fross’s versatility as an artist. The song’s cinematic quality, airy keys, and ethereal harmonies invite listeners into a world of quiet reflection. Fross’s sparse lyrics and minimalism speak volumes, creating a meditative space for anyone seeking to find beauty in the impermanence of life.
“‘Cherry Blossom’ mourns the inevitable passing of beauty, but it also celebrates the deep admiration that beauty inspires,” says Fross. “Rather than dwelling in sorrow, the song encourages us to reflect, appreciate, and embrace the transitory nature of life and art.”
As Fross continues to redefine her sound and craft music from a place of vulnerability and authenticity, ‘Cherry Blossom’ stands as a testament to her evolution as an artist. With its cinematic, ethereal qualities and introspective lyrics, the single invites listeners to pause, reflect, and find solace in the impermanence of beauty.
