Premiere: Between Giants captures atmospheric pleasure on ‘Every Night,’ featuring Violet Hart
The electro-pop upstart offers an exuberant piece of pop music.
There’s a certain kind of bliss that comes with the open road, the baby-blue sky stretching in every direction, the thunder of the engine and the wind ruffling your hair. We often take these moments sorely for granted, but when we do inhale them, they can reinvigorate us. “I believe in things I can feel,” pop craftsman Between Giants (real name Tyler John) affirms with his lush, tropical-house saturated single “Every Night,” premiering today. “You crave to be someone new / More than what I could see / Push and pull, your gravity / Hold me down / Let me up,” he sings, savoring not only the beauty of nature rushing by his view but that of his companion, too.
Violet Hart embroiders the song with a soothing silkiness, often harmonizing, other times singing in unison or taking commanding lead. “I can’t pretend I’m perfect / I say things I don’t mean / Stay with me,” she echoes the sentiment, brandishing her own well-fought independence.
From the slithering intro synths and electric guitar licks to the bursts of sun-drenched kaleidoscopes, the song is stunningly expansive, mirroring the impulsive effects of Florida weather, funny enough. “It usually doesn’t get cold [here], but this winter it did. After one particularly dreary day chalk full of rain, I was dying for that windows-down, dancing on the beach, sunset-chasing type of sensation,” John tells B-Sides & Badlands. “That wave of joy that crashes over you when the sky just opens up in front of you. I wanted to put that feeling into a sound, and ‘Every Night’ was just that ⎯⎯ living in the moment and being with a girl and enjoying everything around us. So, roll your windows down and pretend it’s summer for awhile.”
“Every Night” officially drops everywhere this Friday.
