Dj Melodie and Yelow Have Shown That Their Futures In The Electronic Music Scene Are “Crystal Clear.”

Listen/Download https://InToneNation.lnk.to/CrystalClear

When two creatives join forces during a chance meeting through their shared love of music, anything can happen. Delivering what will surely be one the freshest progressive trance cuts of the year, American-Vietnamese Dj Melodie and Canadian Edwin “Yelow” Tsui have shown that their futures in the electronic music scene are “Crystal Clear.”

Drawing on strong lyrical themes, the track opens up with a catchy bass break which sets the tone for the emotive vocal layers which follow. Dropping into the verse, the intensity level rises and continues to build all the way to the breakdown’s rousing vocal refrain and synth build. As the drop surges in and the theme expands, the track grows, reaching a climax with the return of the inspiring vocal hook.

The song has a universal significance, as DJ Melodie pointed out when asked about the lyrics:

“This track has an important meaning to me. It’s about learning to accept yourself and how that can make your life change for the better. Seeing yourself as you truly are, instead of looking at yourself through illusions and expectations, can bring a real turning point and an opportunity to overcome your fears and doubts.”

JES returns With "Lay Down" Something Entirely New For 2021

Listen/Download https://jes.lnk.to/LayDown

JES returns with something entirely new for 2021. “Lay Down,” introduces a fresh sound that puts her award-winning talents front and center, hinting at what might be expected from her long-awaited return to the artist album format.

“Lay Down” is a future-retro ballad built around a stunning JES vocal performance. Punctuated with soulful instrumentation, the sound is brought up to date with a crushing blend of 808’s and trap beats. Recorded in Los Angeles and New York, the song is completed with modern sound design, and emotive synths, keys, and backgrounds. JES is also credited with co-producing the song alongside award-winning songwriter/producer Richard Robson. “Lay Down” is the first release from the three-time Grammy nominee’s anticipated new album expected towards the end of the year, ending a long hiatus from the long-player format. When asked about her new sound, the Billboard #1 singer responded:

“For so many years, I have been searching for an outlet. I needed a way to shed some light on the artist bubbling beneath the songs and style I have been known for. It has always been the point of origin for my songs. But now I have the vehicle to share it directly, to get to the heart of my music. Creating this new music has been so liberating. Being able to re-invent myself with new sounds and the freedom to push my boundaries is electrifying. It’s given me a new level of passion for what I do”.
