jozif feat. Terri Walker - Twilight

  • Share
  • Releases from More Music have been sporadic but noteworthy this year, with efforts from Midland and Toby Tobias particularly standing out. The same goes for "Twilight." jozif's latest song—and it is a song—initially pairs swaggering kicks with tiny, polite chords and rounded claps. Nice enough, to be sure, but the track's real pièce de résistance is an arcing, dramatic sequence of well-defined, stabby strings and key strikes which swell the whole arrangement up to epic proportions. In the spaces left behind, a plump and lo-slung bassline gently wiggles its flabby behind and the pure vocals of Terri Walker are allowed to swoon and soar in a way that, to me at least, recalls classic Kate Bush. Elsewhere, there's a dub which isn't a dub because it keeps the original's vocal, instead drawing out a one finger tinkle on the ivories for its variation, while the Casino Times remix trims some of the dramatic emotional resonance in favour of dance floor energy. Importantly, both versions allow the string centrepiece and sunset vocals of Walker (which also appeared on T. Williams' "Heartbeat" in case you were trying to place them) plenty of room to breathe.
