Euphoric sunset dance vibes captured with a strong riff and evocative vocal adlibs. AYVON intertwines organic flutes and retro synths, for the four-to-the-floor escapism of the immersive EDM single Light Me Up.
Standing tall on the strength of its three-part-riff and melodic resolve, Light Me Up encapsulates the energy and warmth implied by both its title and artwork. The programmed vocal is fragmented and brief, but adds just enough of a lyrical thread to back up and space out the instrumental arrangement. And the production surrounding that is both familiar and unexpected – no drop into chaos or weight, but a few well-placed moments of change; tempo refrains, vocal adlibs, instrumental switches.
It’s a colourful arrangement, humble and non-intrusive, but likeable and all-consuming at volume. A fine example of the catchy and ambient nature of modern electronic music and AI production, only with a twist of something nostalgic to really help reinforce the beating heart of positivity that is Light Me Up. An ideal contender for dance-pop and EDM playlists.
