Ground-breaking creative project Emotion 8 takes to instantly immersing listeners in a powerfully complex, chaotic and energising realm of sound.
Seamlessly intertwining aspects of electronica, rock and catchy dance-pop, with the occasional twist of rap, their sound is all at once cinematically vast and conceptually sharp. Nowhere do these qualities present a greater crescendo of impact than throughout the brand new single Night Rider.
Built around the universally relatable story of desperately seeking a sense of freedom, Night Rider captures an enchanting fusion of distorted riffs, powerful house rhythms, cascading synths and passionate female vocals, offering a fully-loaded listen that’s inherently rebellious in both style and substance.
Emotion 8 effectively refuse to pigeon-hole themselves amidst a certain genre. The production of the track rains down with an intricate balancing of trip-hop-like ethereal delicacy and funky, distorted rhythm and rock intensity. Then there’s the meandering melody, the softness to high-energy approach of the featured vocalist, and the again cinematic images and ideas that pave the way towards an explosive, escapism-ready hook.
Imaginative and unlimited but also brilliantly satisfying in the way that mainstream music needs to be in order to connect, Emotion 8 achieve a mighty balance of essential traits with Night Rider, presenting something boldly original but also awakening and easily catchy once that central title and chorus storm into view.
