Establishing the mood with an immersive synthscape, SERAh opens In Front of Me with a sense of meditative dimensionality and a cosmic allure as LLOVSA sings, “Late night, fall into the same old old patterns, right but it’s wrong, toxic kinda love’ll kill me slowly, pain I adore…”
The opus expands with an atmospheric riser and builds with timeless drama to unveil a self-realized message as SERAh shares conscious prose about her toxic connection and need for freedom and independence.
The EDM-pop energy is incredible, exhilarating and festival ready with cerebral glitch pop nuances that are captivating. The respite before the second verse creates ebbs and flows for the track which keeps us enthralled throughout. The sonic switch ups are dynamic and the production is literal perfection.
In Front of Me is perfect for a range of synch deals – a reality TV show like Love Island or a massive TV show with similar themes to the message like Euphoria on HBO or Netflix’s Elite. We learn in fact that In Front of Me is the star of its own cinematic universe. It begins the story arc of a sci-fi universe created by DJ and producer SERAh with her muse, Lyra!
SERAh mentions Deadmau5‘s chord progression as a sonic influence that anchors the song, while melodic layers nod to artists like MiTiS, Tails, and Codeko, but there is also no doubt that SERAh is manifesting a universe unto her own (and Lyra, of course) with In Front of Me!
As this is just chapter one of a 20-part animated music video series, we look forward to experiencing the rest of Lyra’s World – a post-apocalyptic space fantasy told through music, visuals, and immersive world-building. Naturally, we have added In Front of Me to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we anticipate future releases from SERAh!
