Montreal-based Rico 56 brings forth a darkened electronic offering titled ‘You Run The World’, a gripping ballad-style release that locks you in with tantalising instrumentation and captivating vocals for what is a well-rounded production.
Pulling us with through those soaring synths, ‘You Run The World’ begins in with an openness in the soundscape through a minimalistic groove in the percussion that gives plenty of space for those stunning vocals that carry forth the emotionally-fuelled narrative across the duration. With sweeping synths intensifying the mix, Rico 56 does a great job in texturising the production with a plethora of depth that keeps you engaged throughout the enticing journey.
“‘You Run the World’ is about the feeling of being trapped by someone you love, incapable of freeing yourself, consistently moving in circles, all while they run the world. Thank you to NIGHTMODE for taking a chance on a song that is oh-so personal to me. I’m thankful to finally share this part of me with you guys—You run the world :).”—Rico 56
