This new release, ALSO ASTIR & Blancwater – Still, is characterized chiefly by its calm, enchanting vocals and contemplative lyrics; “quiet light / heavy air / time won’t fight / it slips away” is how the song opens, setting the scene for the hypnotic three and a half minutes that follow. Accompanying the lyrics are ethereal layers of swirling synth pads which contribute to the deep, chilled out mood, as well as gentle, carefully constructed rhythms which hold the track together without impinging on its lush electronics and vocals. The production on the track is equally beautiful, making it seem as though the vocals are almost ephemeral, floating away into the void as soon as they have been sung. The track builds and builds in emotion as it progresses too, with extra melodies, layers and rhythms added until it builds into a crescendo.
Overall, this new Deep & Chill Melodic House music song on Get The Sound (GTS) records is one of the most emotive opus we’ve heard this year and makes a perfect addition to the 2025 scenes of these two genres. Combining entrancing vocals with blissful, atmospheric electronics and carefully constructed House rhythms, ALSO ASTIR & Blancwater – Still is a mesmerizing, distinctive track that will have you reaching for the repeat button again and again.
