KLAXX, yetep - STARLIGHT (feat. Aviella)
Read more . . . →KLAXX and yetep teaming up again, and this time they’ve roped in Aviella, which turns out to be the move. These two already have form together with “Runaway,” another Aviella feature, so this isn’t a one-off experiment so much as a trio that figured out they work and decided to run it back. Good call. Her voice is the whole engine of “STARLIGHT.” It floats clean and bright through the intro, and then when the drop lands it’s her vocal getting chopped and twisted into the melody itself rather than just sitting on top of the beat. That’s the trick...
