Hook & Reel: LSDREAM’s sweeping dance epic ‘SHADOW SELF’
Writer Chris Will holds tight to one of the year’s most celestial dance tracks.
Welcome to Hook & Reel, a series showcasing music that’s guaranteed to catch your ear.
If you’ve heard of BRILLZ, then you already know the genius of electronic music mastermind Sami Diament, who’s been tearing up festival stages and dance floors around the world with his addictive, razor-sharp beats for years. Today (December 7), he’s premiering a new track titled “SHADOW SELF” under the moniker LSDREAM. His latest work takes his artistry to breathtaking new heights with a fresh and exciting pivot in sound.
The slow-burning synth intro buoys the airy, ethereal vocal, gripping from the first few seconds of the track. The ache in the singer’s voice is palpable as she calls out into the cosmos, repeating “don’t ever let go” with breathless fervor before the dark and sinewy drop comes rippling through the refrain, brimming with power and emotion. The vocalist and the production parallel the light and darkness that exists within each of us, the singer’s voice a crystal clear ray of light shining through the bestial and seductive breakdown. LSDREAM confirmed that internal darkness and light are the central theme in “SHADOW SELF,” and that the song focuses on the process of embracing both in order to find enlightenment. It’s an immersive, addicting record, and an exciting addition to Diament’s already impressive catalog of grade-A dance smashes.
