Canadian synth pop group CROATIA makes an entry on NEW LEASE MUSIC with a brand new music video to their latest single, ‘Make Circles’.
Boasting a stunning fusion of soft electronics and synthed-up pop, the four-and-a-half minute release embodies their heavy influence of the 80’s. Frontman Justin Campbell’s memersing vocals perfectly glides along the hazy combo, adding that magical and spine-tingling sensation.
‘Make Circles’ is the first single from their forthcoming EP, ‘Half Dreams’, set for release in the spring. In the meantime, check out the equally hazy visuals to their newest offering (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
Since releasing the powerful single in early November, ‘5000 Miles’ has been featured in multiple Spotify playlists such as Young & Free, Viral Hits, USA Top 50, and New Music Friday. In December, the track was added to the Apple Music Today’s Chill playlist.
Now the 5000 Miles Fye & Fennek remix is available, offering an interesting interpretation of the original. FYE & FENNEK, the young and extremely talented Filter Music Group producer, has created an ambient sound that flows seamlessly with LUI’s husky and smooth vocals. Their style compares to Swedish electronic music duo, The Knife and creates an innovative synergy with LUI who draws inspiration from artists like Bon Iver to Kendrick Lamar.
The accompanying music video by director Christoph Varga continues the story of the first, offering a new chapter with a darker, more abstract visual…hit the play button!
