Genevieve SovereignΒ – Starspin is the latest single from the Melbourne-based artist who is tipped to be the hottest new act on the Ambient / EDM scene. It follows her two singles from earlier this year, Random Number and Square Root -1, both of which are lifted from her upcoming Experimental Electronic LP STARSEEDS WANTED: enquire within thatβs due out sometime next year.
Pulling listeners into what the artist herself describes as βa more lyrically minimal and arrangement-driven dreamscapeβ than her earlier releases, Genevieve SovereignΒ – Starspin sounds refreshing and stimulating without simply repeating the artistβs previous formulas for success. With a thirty-second introduction, the track takes its time in building its sound, hooking listeners with its space-age, almost soothing electronics. Sovereignβs delicate, atmospheric voice only adds to this, leaving listeners feeling as though theyβre floating among the stars whilst looking down on planet Earth. Thereβs hypnotic rhythms and cosmic production flourishes to enjoy too, both of which grow in intensity as the track progresses.
And whilst the hypotonic nature of Genevieve SovereignΒ – Starspin can undoubtedly be attributed primarily to Sovereign herself, it sounds as though sheβs had a little help in the studio during the recording process too. βSovereign additionally received integral production help on Starspin from an artist whose work she deeply admiresβ reads the trackβs intriguing press release βbut who has requested to remain uncredited for this release β though Sovereign wishes to express that this support has been paramount in crafting Starspin as it exists today, and she is profoundly grateful for the assistanceβ. Along with this mysterious collaborator, multi-genre audio engineer Deece of Omni-hieroglyphic returns to mix and master the track, having already worked with Sovereign on a number of her past releases.
All in all, Genevieve Sovereign – Starspin is a track that ticks all the boxes for fans of Ambient-infused House and EDM. With its ethereal instrumentation and stunning production, we know this one will be staying on your playlists for a long time to come.
