Moon and Aries – “Take Me Home”

Conveying a quest to discover one’s true self and a sense of belonging, “Take Me Home” is a stirring new single from Moon and Aries. The project comprises Jordana Moon and Tom Aries — based in Canada and Germany, respectively — and boasts a compelling balance between lush atmospherics and hooky melodic appeal. The track dazzles in its assortment of quaint synths and grandiose strings alike, as Moon’s emotive vocal presence carries with seamless entrancement throughout. The release represents continued success this year from Moon and Aries, previously grabbing our ears with the full-length album TRANSCENDENCE a couple months back.

A chilly, wordless vocal display and easing-in strings waste no time in craft a chilly soundscape. “I will never run away,” Moon sings amidst the cohesive electronic and orchestral pop convergence, clamoring to “take me home,” with spine-tingling immersion. The project’s melding of electronic, house, trip-hop, and soulful pop stood out throughout TRANSCENDENCE, and now continues in captivating form with the release of “Take Me Home.” Alluring vocals and a gripping soundscape combine for a stellar pop mystique.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.
