Electronic Pop | House
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.
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.
Had this land in a playlist for review a few days ago without knowing who the artist was. I was happily coding along when the voice hit me. I knew I recognized it but with the hard unrelenting slithering synth bass line threw me off. Sure enough when I checked the playlist it was none other than Interpol’s lead singer Paul Banks. I for one would love an entire album in this style with Paul on the lead vocals over a solid synth backing track. The beat on this number is sexy. Its deep and keeps moving forward with a swagger. Paul does an outstanding delivery which fits the mood perfectly. This track will be released on TRZTN (Tristan Bechet) forth coming full length album due out Jan 22. Also on that album is a collaboration with Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O.
