We have been following Desperate Electric for a while, and it’s a pleasure to see them come full circle with their latest album. ‘Don’t Fall in Love’ crowns their artistic journey so far, showcasing past singles next to brand new offerings. The keen reader might remember ‘Future Mommy’ or ‘Gimme’, which were all featured on Mesmerized.
There are constants in ‘Don’t Fall in Love’: luscious production and evocative vocals. Groovy and soulful drums are also ever-present, with the general vibe seeking a quirky yet mainstream pop direction. ‘Mess it Up’ is one of the new tunes, a nuanced and rich nugget of eclectic energy. Desperate Electric shift seamlessly between male and female vocals, touching R&B and retro flavouring with elegance and confidence.
Hailing from the US, Desperate Electric is certainly a duo where artistic alchemy works incredibly well. Speaking about the album, they explain: “A fusion of playful energy and raw emotion, inviting listeners into a world where temptation reigns supreme, and inhibitions are left at the door.”
