Holiday by Barzek & Jethimself

The sensational production duo Barzek (Australia) & Jethimself (USA) have already contributed two melodic and soulful releases to our imprint this past summer: "Erhu" and "Everest / Genesis." Their third offering, "Holiday," features the stunning vocals of Victoria Ray, who lent her talents to "Free Like A Bird," one of the standout tracks from Blood Groove & Kikis' "Wonderland" artist album.

A resonant bassline, dancing arpeggio, and "vintage" melodic progressive chord progression highlight the first quarter of the arrangement. We are soon met by Victoria Ray's delicate opening verse, which leads the listener into the main break. Victoria beautifully delivers the chorus (and titular hook), accompanied by an equally gorgeous piano instrumental. Her inspirational lyrics are soon followed by an anthemic chord progression, culminating in a more club-oriented groove in the drop. For fans who prefer a vocal-less interpretation, this release also comes equipped with a "Dub Mix."
