Highlight Review: “Say That (Orchestral Version)” by Planetarium Sessions x Blimes and Gab | A worth listening Hip Hop Release
Music Review:
“”Say That (Orchestral Version)” by Planetarium Sessions x Blimes and Gab unfolds over a cinematic melody that balances romance and drama, building an immediate sense of tension without ever resorting to easy sentimentality. As the vocals enter, their raw honesty and quiet confidence transform the orchestral grandeur into something deeply human. The rhythm, shaped by subtle yet meaningful shifts, keeps the track in constant motion, allowing its emotional weight to build organically rather than forcing a climax.”

Press Release – About Song:
Planetarium Sessions – a new LA-based live session series that blends orchestral arrangements, astronomy, hip hop, and R&B. Inspired by stargazing, it’s all about discovering new stars in every sense – both literally and musically. We believe that hip hop and strings have long been among the strongest cultural connections in music, but have never had the right online outlet. That’s why we are creating a spin on the live session concept – instead of relying on the location and the hook and expecting the artist to come up with a version of their song (like Tiny Desk or any other live session series), we’re reimagining the artist’s song with creative string arrangements ourselves. The vision is to shoot our episodes inside actual observatories around Los Angeles, and to create ongoing cultural events that will collide chamber music and hip hop audiences.
In the short time that we’ve been around, we’ve already generated notable traction – with hundreds of thousands of views on social media and industry legends like Timbaland paying attention.
The pilot episode, featuring Blimes and Gab, marked the loved duo’s long-awaited comeback with their new single – Say That – completely reimagined with strings and drums.
