Setting the tone with a rising cerebral frequency, laced with dimensional nuances, BIAS opens his cover of The Police‘s Can’t Stand Losing You with a rippling soundscape and atmospheric vocals from singer Lorenzo “Montaxx” Montanari, as he shares the iconic situational prose, “I’ve called you many times today, and I guess it’s all true what your girlfriends say, that you don’t ever want to see me again, and your brother’s gonna kill me and he’s six feet ten…”
The opus expands with depth and poetic prowess to take us on an emotive and subversive journey. We appreciate the sonic architecture and the timeless nature of the hook which naturally evokes a throwback sentiment.
In this new version, the creators tell us that “enveloping synths punctuated by a pulsating drum machine loop take the place of Andy Summers’ scratchy guitar and Copeland and Sting’s rhythm section, completely disrupting the original arrangement and plunging the song into a gloomy Synth Wave atmosphere.” We adore what BIAS has created, as is holds a memory of the original, at the same time as creating a new and cohesive tapestry of sound.
We learn that the release follows BIAS and Lorenzo “Montaxx” Montanari cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart, which we also can’t stop streaming! Can’t Stand Losing You has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of BIAS, and anticipate future releases from the talented producer!
