Close to me

Following on from his debut instalment, 'Cracked', released earlier this year, Jean René Lai returns on Stil vor Talent with his eagerly anticipated new EP, 'Close To Me'. In Lai's own admission a firm favourite amongst his own catalogue of productions, 'Close To Me' blazes with that deep, intimate fire within, elegantly bridging the gap between floor-functionality and far-reaching emotion. A minutely arranged display of Lai's many talents for crafting intensely touching melodies alongside haunting rhythms, the lead-single fringes the junction of ethereal pop, deep house and atmospheric techno on a nostalgic tip. An escapist's dream, brushing a most vivid tableau of moody ambience and piercing honesty, and elevating the listener to higher spheres of consciousness with every bar as the voice iterates its mesmerising mantra. More of a hip-swaying affair, 'OK you feel' retains that signature sense of washed-out melancholy but fleshes it out with further volatile synth-smithery and dubbed-out drum programming, sound designed and layered to subjugating effect. The result is a tune that packs both a nasty club-busting ability and that insane waves-ready pop potential, which you can't help but see taking dance floors by storm this summer and beyond.
