Crafting a sound intended to sound like a memory, and succeeding in doing so, “Mellow” is a riveting single from DECO-LUXE. The first single from upcoming album Eventide, the release features Kyat Cute on vocals, adding a serenely absorbing quality alongside the dynamic synth tones, ranging from buzzing intrigue to glimmering pulsations.
DECO-LUXE describes the production as “about the way music can transport us—how a single sound can evoke a feeling, a place, or a moment we’ve long forgotten.” “If loving feels like this, then I’m in love with you, I guess so,” her vocals shine, especially stirring around 02:25 as spacious electronics and a beckoning to “please don’t ever say to me, goodbye” build into a sating finale. “Mellow” has us strongly looking forward to Eventide.
