Eynka feat. Låpsley - Promises

Låpsley’s voice does something specific to electronic music — it cools it down by a few degrees in a way that makes the warm parts hit harder by contrast. Eynka have clearly understood this and built an entire track around it. Promises is melodic trance but it doesn’t push into the overwrought territory a lot of melodic trance tends toward. The restraint is what makes it. There’s a sense of longing running through the whole track that the production matches without overselling it. Armada puts out a lot of music and a lot of it blurs together, but this one stuck. Låpsley has that quality where she makes you feel like the song is being sung specifically to you in a quiet room, and when you drop that into an electronic context the effect is very deliberate. This is a late night track. Give it the right setting and the volume it deserves.
