Another success from Giorgio Fazio, “It Felt Like Fire (But I Think It Was Just You)” exhilarates in its swelling electronic momentum. The Switzerland-based artist caught our ears with the track “No One Should Ever Die” earlier this month, and continues to showcase a compelling blend of infectiousness and heady soundscapes within this new single.
Fazio notes that “It Felt Like Fire (But I Think It Was Just You)” reflects feelings of passion (fire) when one finds love follows a long period of loneliness. The track’s structure is representative of such in artful form. “It keeps building, growing, intensifying, until it finally explodes, leaving you with the realization that the fire was never just a feeling, but the person who is now part of you,” Fazio explains.
Whirring synth arps and ghostly vocal infusions lead the track’s gripping introduction, swelling seamlessly from lusher intrigue into more grandiose trickling. The arp-ready ardency continues past the one-minute turn, assuming a breezier tonal excitement as the haunting, wordless vocals continue. Heavy bass pulses further the climactic excitement within. Twinkling keys and a lush spaciousness extend into the final minute, exuding that sense of introspection in the realization of fire/passion extending beyond a feeling, and into a visceral part of one’s self.
