On thoughts of everything getting a return, great music increasingly circles back to the building blocks of deeply evocative sub-genres – the charm and enchantment of trip hop, in example; the uplifting vibrancy of drum and bass, the creative freedom of both, and the intimate, engaging fluidity of honest voices.
Deezium captures a moment with sublime precision, passion, and skill, for the intoxicating new single Do You Hear Me?
From delicate beginnings through soul-pop or RnB-style verses and adlibs, Do You Hear Me? feels almost like a diary entry or a private letter. As things build, however, the production is brilliantly interesting – rhythmic choices intrigue, feeling almost playful by nature, and the emotional intensity rises through basslines and falsetto peaks, towards a fully euphoric DnB drop that’s addictive in its precision and power.
We turn towards the glitchy, fragmented vocal play and production of a simpler era, and the sensational ability and artistry of Deezium blends with a clear understanding of both songwriting and production, in terms of fully enveloping listeners in a whole new realm.
This is a stunning track to escape into, an alluring, hypnotic and uplifting listen, which is conceptually provocative and melodically free butt satisfying – a careful and clever balance of essential qualities for both longevity and reach.
