Belgian artist/composer Jean-Philippe Ruelle and singer Micheline Van Hautem collaborate on the riveting new single “Impulsein,” an 8-minute epic that compels across fervent electronic instrumentation and impassioned vocal swells. Spirited synth adornments complement Van Hautem’s dreamy, initially wordless vigor. Prancing piano injects thereafter, furthering the vibrant intrigue as the vocals attain a soaring captivation. The track continues with palpable momentum throughout, impressing across both moments of piano-led elegance — like past the mid-point — and electronic-forward invigoration.
Per the artist, “Impulsein” tells “the story of an intense and fleeting love impulse.” The structural traversal is representative of new-found love and eventual dying embers; the first section conveys the stirring passion within an initial connection, while the second half explores a more piano-driven melancholy — described as conveying “the melancholic sweetness left by this spark.” Jean-Philippe Ruelle and Micheline Van Hautem thoroughly impress across this emotional gem of a track.
