Rezz - Witching Hour
Not sure how many Rezz or even electronic music fans there are here, so I'm interested to see the response.
Rezz released this single from her upcoming album yesterday.
I'm a huge Rezz fan, and this song is awesome, but I kind of hope that the full album will have some more variation. I like the song, but it came on autoplay earlier today and for a second I questioned whether it was from Mass Manipulation. It seems like Rezz is rehashing the same formula just a bit too much. Sure, every artist has their sound, but I kind of expected something a bit different.
A new, relatively unknown artist that I think has been incredible so far is 1788-L. He sounds like a mix between Porter Robinson and Rezz. I hope Rezz can add some more variation to her distinct sound to make it a bit different, similar to 1788. Maybe the upcoming deadmau5 collab will be promising in this regard?
What do you guys think? Again, overall, great song.
I'm not a huge Rezz fan (a little heavy for my taste) but I think she has a really original style. I caught one of her shows last year and it was a lot of fun, cool vibes.
I agree that Witching Hour sounds like it could be off of MM, but I wouldn't be too upset if the new album is similar to the last one. I think she's still establishing herself as an artist and has plenty of time to grow in the future.
Definitely looking forward to hearing whatever she and mau5 can come up with.
I listen to a fair amount of electronic music, but I think this might be the first Rezz song I've heard (knowingly, at least).
It's not a bad song, but it felt kind of... "basic" or... "thin", if that makes sense? I don't know, it just seemed to be a few fairly straightforward sections that didn't really end up building up to much. Checking out the other artist 1788-L that you mentioned, the "Replica" track is on a way higher level in terms of complexity and how it feels as it progresses.
