A gentle vocal push to “just breathe,” pairs with spacey electronic illumination for a lushly absorbing success in “Breathe,” the new track from Cedric D. The San Jose, California-based producer succeeds with a meditative overall sound within. “Breathe” was recorded in his home studio, and is described by Cedric D as “about learning to relax and not take the world too seriously.” His embrace of music “a little bit of meditative vibe or yogic vibe,” is showcased here with ample entrancement, being both infectiously hypnotic and calmly absorbing.
“Just breathe,” a chilling vocal lets out, complemented wonderfully by a house-friendly rhythmic pulse and burgeoning synth movements. Clanging piano rides underneath, furthering the dance-friendly house-touched allure, while the vocals prove grounding alongside the tonal developments. Drawing inspiration especially from Odesza and Bonobo, Cedric D’s production shines with its captivating fusion of heady synths, head-nodding rhythms, and serenely infused vocal samples. We’re excited to hear whatever’s next.
