There's something utterly magnetic about Genevieve Sovereign's recent release, "Starspin," a cosmic slow burner that ambles along and then latches on like a mob informant. A native of Melbourne, Australia, Genevieve has always been a pioneer in the indie electronic world. With "Starspin," she navigates the deep waters of ambient house, EDM, and IDM, surfacing with a sound that is both otherworldly and beatifically human.
"Starspin" develops patiently, building on delicate textures and breathy vocals that sound like they're whispering from the edge of the galaxy. Genevieve doesn't hurry the journey, but she lets it breathe. And when, finally, the beat drops, it carries with it the blissful charge of a hard-won groove; one that's every bit as danceable as it is transcendent.
"Starspin" is cryptic and romantic, evoking vivid images of cosmic churn and existential mystery. The singing not only contains words but weight, soaring between the celestial and the profoundly personal. The production is exceptionally tight and cleanly constructed, overseen by the red-hot mixing and mastering engineer and Omni-hieroglyphic collaborator Deece, who brings the frantic and energetic track to life. All the sounds feel impossibly part of this one song, letting it expand into itself like a temporal nebula.
Genevieve Sovereign, who is shaping up to claim her eccentric lane in electronic music, intertwines ambient textures with emotional depth and rhythmic seduction. "Starspin" doesn't play in your ears but moves around every part of your consciousness. It's the sort of track that plays just as well if you're alone, headphones on, at midnight as if you're in sync with the crowd at sunrise.
