Transcend with the jazzy grooves in Mid Ground’s latest single, Peace in the Sky

Posted on 17 September 2021
Mid Ground

‘Peace in the Sky’, featuring vocalist, Ellen Mara, is easily the most hypnotic RnB trip pop single so far from the jazzy instrumental duo Mid Ground. The easy movements of the notes remind you of how sweet freedom can feel as the lyrics do the same.

The single switches the RnB narratives that consistently chase and mourn lust; it delivers a reminder that the only person worth finding is yourself. By playing with rich, ethereal and electrifying textures, the lush reverb-swathed grooves in Peace in the Sky leave you absorbed from start to finish. My soul feels infinitely lighter for hearing this tranquil yet fierce affirmation that independence is infinitely more rewarding than co-dependence.

Peace in the Sky was officially released on September 17th; you can check it out for yourselves via Bandcamp & SoundCloud.

Elluna – Runnin: Evocatively Compelling EDM Art Pop

Posted on 2 August 2019

From the first lyrical line in up and coming Pop artist Elluna’s latest single “Runnin” you’re already left with the impression that you’re listening to no ordinary Pop artist.

Elluna’s artful approach to the EDM Pop genre is sure to be of appeal to any fans of Bjork and Tori Amos; yes, her sound really is that distinctive. Artists in possession of such captivating authenticity aren’t usually so easily found, yet Elluna’s commanding vocals paired with her drive to orchestrate potently emotive beats definitely isn’t something that you get to hear every day.

Runnin also offers plenty of lyrical depth, the single deals with our tendencies to inflict a narrative self-hate onto ourselves which leads us to methods of destructive escapism. With the fluctuations in the momentum of the beats, the track becomes an aural depiction of growth and shaking away shackles of apathy. In short, it’s an incredibly powerful single which is more than worth 4 minutes of your time.

Head over to SoundCloud to check out Elluna’s second single Runnin for yourselves.
