To say we are in need of some rejuvenation after the bank holiday weekend would be a severe understatement, and looking to provide it in the form of ethereal violin strings and enchanting vocals is Hedara with her hypnotising new single, “Closer”. Tinged with futuristic synths and an intense beat, the track emanates a dark and moody atmosphere that grapples with the uptempo sensibilities of classic drum and bass.

Marking one of her first releases since taking the reigns of a solo career, “Closer” is the ultimate exemplar of the singer-songwriter’s ability to hone in on a genre and transform it. While the track carries an edge throughout, the dreamlike nature of its instrumentals allows your mind to float into a state of pure escapism. Creating an effort that is as danceable as it is transportative, “Closer” blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy — taking listeners along for the journey.
