When approaching Chateau Saint, one must be ready to embrace whatever they throw at you. While the Seattle-based duo has a strong flair for modern pop and electronica, one never quite knows where exactly they are headed… Perhaps into country-edm territories, like we experienced in ‘Here With You’ and ‘Alive & Free’. Or perhaps, more cinematic, M83-flavoured settings, such as in ‘Here With You’. Wherever they might take the listener, one thing is certain: the journey is always worth it. Chateau Saint’s latest effort is the perfect example of that, showcasing once again the genre dynamism so proudly championed by the talented American pair.
‘High On You’ introduces itself with a rather poignant melody, building over the duo’s nuanced and sensible vocals, right before jumping into a bright synth-pop landscape and further enhancing Chateau Saint’s rich artistry. Organic piano vibes complement the ethereal and dreamy soundscapes, perfectly fitting the hard-hitting, large beats that we are so in love with.
Lyrically, the record seems to delve into human attraction and the euphoria surrounding it. As the pair explains: “We wrote ‘High On You’ to explore the intricacies of desire, chemistry, and human connection, to capture the feeling when you’re with someone and your heart is racing, your skin is flushed, it”s almost hard to breathe–and you”d do anything for more”.
