With a back catalogue that has stood the test of time throughout his notable career, Yves V’s studio output over this past year alone has continued soar with a burning force – and no more so than on his latest Spinnin’ Records release ‘Speed Of Light’, signalling exactly what eager listeners are in store for!
Leading with a low end string melody that is meditative and transfixing, “I would search the ocean wide… couldn’t stop me if they tried” omits a crystalline vocal, before a dynamic jolt into a high-voltage musical surge comes into play, sure to wow audiences. Gravitating towards an appreciation of pop attributes, thanks to the intriguing and relatable story told by the glorious topline, it musically races with hyperspeed dance elements that produces a fresh take on the European sound, that also permeates the world. Fast, fluid and unashamedly fun, ‘Speed Of Light’ is an illuminating and playful offering that brims with originality and sure to be one of the hits of the year.
With over 2.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, a number that only seems to keep climbing, recent solo tracks on the likes of ALOK’s Controversia and – of course – his musical home of Spinnin’ have ensured that he is a name everybody’s lips. As a mainstage resident of Tomorrowland and with support from names including David Guetta, Afrojack, Martin Garrix and more, consistently reaching for his tracks to get the party started, ‘Speed Of Light’ it’s a home run for Yves V on this solo endeavour.
