Australian electronic duo Midnight Pool Party continue to cement their status as purveyors of infectious disco-infused dance music with their latest release, 'ONE DAY'. The track marks a notable shift for the duo, leaning heavily into classic disco elements, while also introducing a fresh dynamic with the addition of Sydney-based artist Nick Pes - the first ever featured guest on a Midnight Pool Party song.
'ONE DAY' explores the complexities of forbidden love, expressed through a compelling interplay of yearning and acceptance. Darren Morilla, one half of Midnight Pool Party, explains, "The verses are a confession of feelings you wish you could say out loud, and the chorus is an admission to yourself that all these words are just wishful thinking."
The track's journey began back in 2020 when Morilla envisioned a duet between two gay men. While the initial idea didn't come to fruition then, the recent collaboration with Pes breathed new life into the song. "Nick was someone at around that same time who was also making great music which kinda suited our scene, so we asked him to record some vocals for it," Morilla recalls.
Pes' vocals add a layer of emotional depth to the song, perfectly capturing the bittersweet essence of unrequited feelings. "I think of this track about a craving for the feeling of being seen by the one you're crushing on. Our deep desire to connect," Pes elaborates.
Musically, 'ONE DAY' is a disco-lover's dream. It shimmers with vibrant synths, a pulsating bassline, and a driving four-on-the-floor rhythm that will undoubtedly ignite dance floors. Yet, amidst the joyous energy, there's a melancholic undercurrent that adds depth and resonance to the track. It's a testament to Midnight Pool Party's ability to craft music that's both euphoric and emotionally evocative.
The release of 'ONE DAY' is a thrilling moment for fans of Midnight Pool Party, offering a glimpse into their evolving sound and a deeper exploration of their songwriting prowess. With its irresistible blend of classic disco elements and poignant lyrics, the track is sure to be a highlight in their already impressive discography. And the addition of Nick Pes' vocals signals a new chapter for the duo, one that's brimming with creative possibilities.
