Hazy, soothing and totally intoxicating, Daniel Allan’s latest collaborative effort with Reo Cragun is nothing short of a genre-melting masterpiece. Opening with a chillwave instrumental, “Gorgeous” – the second offering of Allan’s upcoming EP – dives deep into the velvety whirlpool of Cragun’s vocal stylings. Singing of regrets, Cragun poignantly reflects on the downfall of a relationship that ultimately leads to regret and chaos — while the memories remain “Gorgeous”. Backed by Allan’s stratospheric production, the track swells to an almost euphoric chorus despite its sombre sentiments, sweeping listeners off their feet and plummeting them into a state of pure escapism where vulnerability is welcomed and chilled vibes are guaranteed.

Released alongside a dreamy visual, the sparkling alt-pop melodies are played behind images of dusk-lit skies and incoming tides — a reflection of the track’s narrator’s state of mind: a paradox between peace and loneliness. A stellar exemplar of Daniel Allan’s ability to bring concepts full circle through his craft, “Gorgeous” is all we need to replenish our heartbreak playlists.
