We recently wrote about Bekim!‘s heartfelt and emotive single Close Your Eyes, so we were thrilled to hear that the German producer was releasing Next To Me!
Immersing us with celestial textures and a vivid high synth melody fused with a smooth vocal, Bekim! opens his latest single, Next to Me with the romantic lyrics, “Every time we’re together it feels like new, and I cherish each moment I spend with you…”
The song expands into a 2000s hybrid pop-R&B vibe, with scattered and nuanced vocal details, a great hook and a luxurious main vocals fused with mesmerizing and high end production.
There are elements of the song that remind us of 112 and Luniz, but it is clear that Bekim! is designing a universe of his own.
Speaking on the meaning of Next to Me, Bekim! says it is “a positive vibe, about being in love and cherishing it.” We love the emotion that the producer conveys with his soundscape and his penchant for R&B nostalgia with a 2022 edge.
He leaves us with some words of inspiration, “If you hold on to your dream you will eventually make it. Just don’t give up.”
We have added Next To Me to our New Music Spotlight playlist and are always streaming Bekim!’s wider discography including Through It All and Close Your Eyes.
