Anjalts puts together a dance-pop track that doesn’t sacrifice emotion for danceability. Released in September, the song runs on heavy kick drums and bass lines that lock in with her airy vocals. She mixes acoustic sounds into the electronic production, which keeps things from sounding too sterile or manufactured.
The song deals with wanting authentic connection in a world where screens do most of the talking. Her voice sits nicely on top of the beat, soft enough to convey vulnerability but strong enough to cut through the low end. The arrangement keeps moving without resorting to formulaic drops or overused transitions.
This one follows two other singles she put out earlier this year. Anjalts writes, produces, and performs everything herself, which probably explains why her music sounds like actual choices were made rather than boxes being checked. You can hear someone behind the music instead of an algorithm.
