The Domain ft Lousy – Favorite Mistake (2022)

If you are in need of a pick-me-up, The Domain has your back with the infectious groovy and catchy flows of ‘Favorite Mistake’. Featuring stunning guest vocals from Lousy, the single will have you moving to the rhythm while pumping you full of happy energy. Using a slightly retro vibe that meets a contemporary twist, The Domain has perfectly combined some danceable EDM grooves with sweet vocals to take your worries and throw them out the window.

Originally slated for release last year, he felt the upbeat and vibrant energy just wasn’t right for the time. While this is only his second release, The Domain has already made a name for himself as an electronic music producer, remixer and DJ. Drawing on a wide range of influences, he blurs the lines between traditional pop and energetic electronic music.



A hazy wave of synths hits you through the opening of ‘Favorite Mistake’ and is met by a deep beat. This beat hints toward an EDM touch in the melody that gets you tapping and bopping to the melody. There is a warm haze of colours through the synths as they dip and dive between retro vibes and contemporary flows. You can hear the influence of old-school dance and pop that twists into a modern upbeat energy. The retro-futuristic touch of the melody slowly works its way under your skin to get you hooked to the dancing energy. This is an infectious movement that has been executed with an outstanding precision. As you are falling under the melody’s spell, you can feel your worries and negativity flow out of you to be replaced with the brightness of the track.

Floating above the addictive melody are Lousy’s vocals that bring a delicate touch to the single. Her performance has an airy feeling as she enters, only to gain strength in the chorus. There is a warmth to her performance that makes you think of summer nights out on the town, falling into a mistake that you repeat again and again. This feeling is woven into lyrics that tell the story of a connection and the knowledge that you shouldn’t do what you are doing, but you can’t really help yourself. Against the dancing vibes of the melody, her performance seems to leap from one note to the other, adding to the moving flow.

The Domain is helping us shake off our worries and give in to the dancing vibes and infectious heat of ‘Favorite Mistake’ with the vocal help of Lousy. The melody has a touch of retro vibes that feeds into the contemporary dance flows. Lousy’s vocals are a delicate touch that leaps from one melodic note to the next as she draws you into the tale of the lyrics.
