Rotterdam-based producer and DJ BERWALD has wasted no time rolling their music out to the masses with the release of their latest single “Can’t Lose My Rhythm.” Just their third musical release of their precocious career, their well-developed sound and proclivity for vintage flare stand out in their work and go a long way toward etching their name into the legacy of the Netherlands’ electronic music scene.
From the moment you press play on this track, the artist takes you down a rabbit hole of rhythm and soul. Snares in a quick tempo immediately set the mood as the vocals appear a few moments after with a hypnotic resonance. As the piece progresses, it builds in complexity and danceability without losing its initial vision, and for a few minutes, all inhibitions become irrelevant while all that matters is the flow of the music.
The narrative of the song is not just reflected in the feelings prompted by the tune, but by its lyrics. “I don’t wanna talk, I wanna dance all night long. No, I don’t need your number, I just need this song” reflects the emotions prompted by the song’s reception. Sung with a passion and vocal enthusiasm reminiscent of the greatest attributes of 70s disco, we feel a desire to let loose and enjoy the moment as a direct result of the artist’s passion.
More than just another earworm, but a true work of excellence, the artist expresses a genuine love for their art through their music. As only the third single released by this young artist, we can only wait with anticipation to see the heights of their potential with so much road ahead of them.
