<a href="/tags/melaina-kol">Melaina Kol</a> shares ‘Idola’, the latest preview of the wonderfully titled album ‘Okay that’s a great idea because if I do that then’. The track combines fragmented vocals, cello, percussion and a vulnerable interpretation of house music.
Its emotional centre is the fear of growing older with somebody while constantly worrying that you may disappoint them. That is an unusually anxious subject for music associated with crowded dancefloors, but the contrast gives ‘Idola’ its personality. Rhythm and tenderness sit together without either one pretending to be comfortable.
The upcoming album arrives in August and follows earlier singles ‘Parallel’ and ‘Lifeheart’. Melaina Kol turns romantic insecurity into something physical and strangely graceful. Find more dance and electronic releases in <a href="/genres/electronic">Electronic Music</a>.
