Wavewulf – ‘Unbreakable Soul’

/

Unbreakable Soul is the immersive new album from Brooklyn-based electronic artist and producer Wavewulf. The tracks prove consistently replay-inducing, melding electro-pop infectiousness with introspective lyrical themes pursuing transformation and resilience. A number of talented guest vocalists contribute alongside, cementing the album’s enthralling production.

The album’s title track opens the album with a climactic electronic pop immersion, infusing Nala Spark’s melodic vocals within a spacey synth-forward effervescence — reminiscent of Little Dragon in the “patterns,” hook, especially. The highlights show consistently from there, with Nala Spark being a consistently enveloping presence. A more conversational vocal suaveness lingers throughout the enticing “The Journey,” succeeding in its climactic build, while “In Every Blue” features a soaring vocal affection within warming synth pulses; Unbreakable Soul consistently enamors in its cohesive range between lushly atmospheric directions and hooky invigoration.

A variety of other guests also stir within. “Tick Tock” features the soulful vocals of Monica Young, stirring in its “time to create your fate,” vocal ethos within title-referencing repetition and serene synth intrigue. Allusions to change and escape send chills on “Running,” featuring Pulse Lab within a lushly intoxicating production that swells with bass-ier inclinations as whispered vocals enter. The album finale “Going for Great (Running, Pt. II)” is a fantastic accompaniment, concluding the album in aptly dynamic form between pulsing synth-pop energy and dreamier initial introspection. Unbreakable Soul is a thoroughly melodic, atmospheric electronic pop success from Wavewulf.

“Unbreakable Soul” is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Emerging Electronic. Stream the playlist below:
