MCN2 and rivve do something smart here: the title promises “brighter days” and the production actually delivers it, which sounds obvious but is harder than it seems when you’re working with deep house instrumentation that naturally trends moodier. The chords are warm without being saccharine. There’s a real sense of forward motion to this — it doesn’t sit in one place and brood, it moves. Sensual Musique has been consistent in finding this specific register of deep house and putting it in front of people who need it. The lead vocal is minimal enough that it doesn’t overpower the groove, which is a choice I always appreciate. I played this twice back to back and didn’t notice the repeat. That’s usually my test. If you haven’t been listening to much deep house lately, this is a good re-entry point. Proper warm weather listening with a speaker outside and nowhere to be.
