Hiatus – Arrival

The best word to describe this track is Cinematic. It starts with a muted heart beat and a spoken word acting as a host of sorts. It talks about this journey of being human. Then a soft piano and heartfelt string/pad starts to fill out the picture. It keeps evolving in both the spoken word and the instrumentation and at the two minute mark the beat kicks in as if marking the next phase of our journey. Beautifully crafted and expertly executed. A pleasant surprise that elevates the genre to something deeper.

Alessiah – I Know

When a talented producer meets a stylized singer wrapped in a delicious melody it is irresistible. Ionut Catana produced a killer track with a deep bassline, strings and a solid house beat. The main melody just glides across and lands home in the chorus. Alessiah’s vocals radiate a longing to be loved from someone who is more worried about their image than love.

GRAACE – You Do You

It’s the emoting behind the vocals that make this track stand out and the overall production. The vocals have heart and the production has sizzle. The semi-laid back beat with house flourishes crown the achievement. That pre-chorus is such a nice build into the chorus that is sure to get the dance floor moving. Hats off the producer and of course to Graace on this stunning work.
