CHROMEBODIES Take Club Dance Music To The Next Level With “Stay”
While club dance music is known for its rhythmic beats meant for dancing the night away, CHROMEBODIES prove there’s room for emotions within the genre as well. The project of electronic producers Manila Killa and Hotel Garuda may seem like it would point to pure, pulsing dance floor fare, but their single “Stay” with vocalist Lyrah shows their intentions run deeper.
A Nostalgic Ode to 90s Eurodance
Pitching Lyrah’s vocals up gives “Stay” a playful, carefree energy inspired by classics from the 90s Eurodance era. But listening closely, her pitched-up delivery still conveys longing and uncertainty that will resonate with anyone trying to suss out ambiguous relationship status.
As she sings about wanting their connection to develop beyond a “situationship” but lacking the clarity to make a move, the struggle to define where things stand feels universal. Additionally, the bouncing beats not only ignite urges to dance but also spark thoughts of what more could be between them.
Blending Emotion and Energy
Rather than providing mindless escapism, CHROMEBODIES shows club music can tap into real human emotion too. “Stay” proves powerful messages don’t require complex lyrics when a song so adeptly mirrors experiences many can relate to.
Their latest single raises the bar for what dance-focused productions are capable of, taking the genre to a new level of meaningful artistry sure to leave a lasting impression.
For emotional club music that spreads a message without sacrificing energy, look no further than CHROMEBODIES.
