Featuring melancholic flutes, upwinding piano chords and Bassey’s outstanding, soulful vocals, this could very well turn into the anthem for these unpredictable times.
Rising up from the Stockholm club scene, he started to make waves with a series of hit records that crossed the bridges between progressive house, deep house, pop and Avicii styled anthems.

Inyang Bassey has worked with various artists, including Moby and The Broken Orchestra, as well as played several (residency) gigs around the NY club scene. Praised for her impressive voice, drenched in soul and gospel, Bassey can turn any song into an emotional ride, she’ll make sure the message isn’t only heard, but felt, too.
Tastefully hitching on today’s (post)pandemic sentiments, the song is a sweet combination of energizing dance music and pop in its most melancholic guise.
When the record breaks down, you hear the hands clapping under Bassey, who enters full gospel mode, providing the song with an even larger dose of rapture
It’s a song that begs for a live audience, to enlighten the crowd with shots of feelgood vibes. John De Sohn and Inyang Bassey have articulated everyone’s thoughts and feelings with this song, surely the soundtrack of an era that we won’t forget years to come.
