Super Drift ft Maise May – La Mer (2021)
Famous attractions and areas can be rather inspiring, whether they take your breath away or simply get the creative juices flowing. Using the inspiration of the famous beach area in Dubai, Super Drift and Maise May unleash ‘La Mer’ into the world. Featuring the pulsing electronic tones of Super Drift with May’s vocals offering her own interpretation of the area, the single fuses retro and modern styles.
The first release by Super Drift with vocals, it is something a little different from the norm. With a base grounded in John Drift’s electronic production and composition, the vocals add an almost euphoric edge. Allowing both artists to shine, they also get you moving to their sound and riding the fusion waves of colours.
‘La Mer’ brings the retro vibes from the first pulse of synths. There is a light feeling to the music as it wisps through the air and brings a pastel haze to the soundscape. The deep beats get your shoulders moving, while the cascading twinkling notes add texture to the softness. While there is a heavy hit of retro synths, they transform into something more modern as the single progresses. The progression of the synth tones has been carefully crafted to lead you from the past tones into the new, while keeping you dancing to the music. It all comes together for an entrancing movement that edges the line between electronic pop and dream pop.
May’s vocals enhance the dreamy vibes that are woven into the melody. Her voice is unbelievably light with a delicate tinge of old-school pop. Her performance is like the sun streaming through wispy clouds, as you take in the beauty of the beach. Combined with the melody, her voice fills your chest with a cloud of euphoria and lifts you off the ground. While you are riding the rather good vibes of the music, the lyrics have the barest hint of sombre thoughts, that evaporate in the light of the pulsing synths. It is a wonderful balance that has been perfectly created, as the light euphoria of the music melds with the steady stance of the lyrics.
With his first single featuring vocals, Super Drift and Maise May have you riding euphoric feelings, dancing to their sound and strengthened by the lyrics of ‘La Mer’. The music is soft and light as it brings retro and modern together perfectly. May’s vocals offer a sweep of euphoria, while the lyrics inject a sombre and steady message.
