Balancing dreamy and danceable electronic captivation, “medea” is a new collaborative single from producer AKINAT and vocalist Joey Sachi. Both artists are originally from Australia, and are now based in Tokyo, Japan. Their collaboration arose over social media, and the result is the engrossing “medea,” which is described as “written about taking back your power and creating the dream life that you want.”
A grooving electronic intrigue takes hold from the get-go. Woozy synth lushness pairs with steady rhythmic pulses and wordless vocal snippets, adding enjoyably to the percussive dynamic. Joey Sachi’s serene vocals follow, laced in caressing reverb and a sense of introspective tranquility. Clanging synth invigoration emerges at the one-minute turn, with the “when I’m dreaming of you,” vocal punctuation bolstering smitten feelings and an overall enthralling melodic output. “medea” is an immersive electronic success from AKINAT and Joey Sachi.
