“Starspin“ by Genevieve Sovereign

“Starspin” by Genevieve Sovereign opens with atmospheric synths chords that drift between your ears and set the scene for the intricate soundscape that is to come. The tapping drum rhythm is slowly introduced, and then we hear filtered vocals beginning to sing about the stars, saying “come on, rise, spin the stars.” This EDM track creates a celestial landscape that matches these sparse lines about ascending into a starry sky, inviting the listener in and effectively putting them in a trance for the duration of the song.

Pulsing synths, ringing synth whines, and experimental noises that are reminiscent of classic soundbites we associate with aliens create a vibe that seems otherworldly. Putting on this song means stepping into another reality, and the invigorating sonics are a welcome escape to the mundane reality of life. “Starspin” is Sovereign’s last single before she goes on to release a full album in early 2025, and it’s a song that effectively showcases her unique artistry and makes us look forward to more.

The energy of “Starspin” rises and falls elegantly, keeping the listener interested without ever interrupting the dreamy daze created at the beginning of the song. A short moment towards the end of the song has nearly every element of the song drop out besides the lightly crashing drums. This creates a satisfying and energetic moment when the track rises back up and re-enters the synth landscape we were missing. Sovereign has a clear vision for the journey of her songs, and displays it beautifully in “Starspin.”
