This is a five track EP from a Perth based electronic duo, which consists of Paulina Caine, the lead vocalist and lyricist, and Henry Kubik, the composer who also produces the music. They have put together some beautifully crafted electronic music with silky smooth vocals.

In a world where current music trends run hand in hand with mediocrity, Basic Desire is an outfit designed to stand apart from the pack.

The opening song, Lies, sees Basic Desire experimenting with minimal lyrics and putting a strong accent on dreamy electronic soundscapes. The surreal vocal, however, is ever present and haunting throughout the piece.

Next up, Streams of Fears defines the essence of this EP from the beginning with an ambient intro, strong melodies and classical vocals. Stranger looks to carry the upbeat vibe and continues with Basic Desire’s creative use of electronics before Don't Cry changes the mood and slows down to bring you a haunting and beautiful ballad, where the emphasis shifts from music to very strong lyrics and vocal performance. My Awakening is the second of the ballads and here the ethereal vocals seem to truly reach out to the listener through some cleverly orchestrated music – a characteristic so seldom found in today’s music. A very polished and solid production.

Once Again is a captivating ambient track by Basic Desire. This beautiful song explores the emotional journey of love, loss, and reunion, with a soundscape that blends atmospheric electronic beats and ambient tones. 

Story behind the song:
In a dark, small room, a woman sits alone on her bed, preparing for a peaceful night’s sleep. Suddenly, a sharp pain in her chest signals that it will be her last night. Yet, instead of sadness, she experiences a surge of warm, vivid memories, bringing a soft smile to her face. His image, once distant, becomes as clear as it was years ago, when she felt his gentle touch and warm breath. She knows that soon, they will be reunited—free from pain, sadness, or separation. With the certainty that true love lasts forever, she peacefully closes her eyes, ready to sleep and await the moment when she will be with him once again, beyond this world.
