From Dreamscape to Dancefloor: Solarstone & Susie Ledge Shine on ‘Star’.

An uptick in the upbeat, a lift to the lively, and a swell of the spirited: with the seasons’ shift, Solarstone's vibe has gotten itself locked in the ‘up’ position of late! First came last month’s floor-entrancing ‘Memoryland’ – a release that picked out the innerspace between dream-state and total recall … while also arriving with something mother-clubbing magnificent!

Now we have ‘star’ – which has Rich dipping back into his ‘innermost’ album trove. That said though … that ‘star’ is not this ‘star’!

Originally conceived as an atmospherically laidback "Sabres Of Paradise’s ‘Smokebelch’ meets Enya” number, the track began its $4/4$ metamorphosis when singer Susie Ledge began ghosting its circuitry. Now adding further club weight, Solarstone’s tapped Leon Bolier to create a Starburst rework, that boosts it that much later into late-night.

It’s half criminal and half-astonishing that, despite their similar timelines, the pair haven’t shared studio space before. They make amends here though, with a production that fair explodes with drumatic orchestral kicks, sky raking synths, and an end-of-the-night paced bass. That in turn projects Susie Ledge’s Gaelic-tinged (and irrepressibly sing-along-catchy!) song into a whole other galaxy.
