The Mietus Touch – Dancing In the Stars (2022)
Through the synth-driven tones of ‘Dancing in the Stars’, The Mietus Touch brings an ode to new beginnings. With a touch of Spring to the melody, the single merges nostalgia, love and heartbreak into a forlorn yet dancing swirl. Riding over this twirling movement are soulful vocals that tug at your emotions while offering something quintessentially Springtime to them.
The follow up to multi-instrumentalist Joseph Mietus’ debut album, this single pulses with elegantly crafted sounds. His prowess across instrumentation and opulent production style add a rich yet unique touch to his music. Sparkling, sultry and with rhythms that you can’t resist, his music draws you into his melodic world without any effort.
‘Dancing in the Stars’ uses a mixture of deep beats and shimmering synths to grab your attention. The drum has you swaying from side to side with its chime and slap movement. The synths bring an almost twilight feeling to the single that floats away on the wind like the seeds of a dandelion. While there is a touch of Spring to the sound, there is a heavier weight of night as you dance across the milky way with someone you care about. The movement of the melody brings a floating almost out of body feeling to the single. This inundates your senses and has you weightlessly flowing through the soundscape and feeling the emotions of the track. There is a lot going on in the melody with different synth and instrumentation coming together for an enthralling movement that opens your mind to the emotions and new beginnings of the lyrics.
As you float to the melody, Mietus’ vocals are a warm heat that delicately settles on your skin like the first waves of heat in the spring. His voice moves into a sultry and seductive soulful flow that enhances the weightless feeling of the melody. You can feel the tendrils of nostalgia reaching through his performance, but this is tempered with the happiness of being with someone you love. It is like he has captured a single moment with someone you care about and dropped you into the affectionate bubble of emotion. While there is a sultry happiness, as the single progresses, there are little injections of doubt. These doubts are eased by the sweeping emotion that has you sighing and leaning back into the warmth of the music.
