Its main melody, catchy and haunting, gradually builds the track, accompanied by textures and percussions that complement each other. As we move forward and into the drop, the classic chord transitions and signature synths that make Betical unique and recognizable, play along a sort of emotional vocal ad lib, returning in full force to this dancefloor groover.

The next track in the pack is “Wildfire”, a deeper but still powerful heavenly melodic track, with Tailor's lovely vocals coming in full on the drop, creating so many beautiful harmonic layers with the synths and chords coming together.

In the remix duties, the Copenhagen duo, rework the track, with a distorted bass hook stab, adding their classic percussive elements, and playing with other elements of the original. The highlight of the track is when they show us their main melody, giving us a total twist on the original version.

To close the EP, betical presents “Oro”, a track more focused on electronica, with breaks rhythms, accompanied by vocal cuts, and pads that run through the track. The emotions never cease to surprise us in this last track, which makes it even more powerful when the main melody enters.
