Get ready to hit the dancefloor and ponder the complexities of modern love, because Australian disco-pop purveyors, Midnight Pool Party, are back with their latest single, 'FIDELITY'. This isn't just another bop; it's a sleek, emotionally charged dive into the murky waters of temptation and the heart-wrenching dilemmas that come with adult relationships.
Known for their infectious grooves and feel-good vibes, the Sydney duo are taking a more mature lyrical turn with 'FIDELITY'. Drawing inspiration from real-life challenges, they’re tackling heavier subject matter than before, all while keeping their signature dancefloor-ready production firmly intact. Think shimmering synths, pulsating basslines, and that unmistakable sense of emotional release under neon lights – it's all there, but with a deeper narrative.
The track explores the often-unspoken complexities of infidelity and temptation, delving into that awful feeling of being caught in a situation where every choice leads to heartache. Darren from Midnight Pool Party sheds some light on the inspiration behind the track, explaining, “This song is about infidelity and temptation. Specifically, about going through the emotions of being tempted by someone else while you are already in a relationship and feeling like you are too deep into a situation that no matter what you do, or who you choose, you’ll lose and everybody gets hurt.”
He goes on to emphasise the duo’s intention, stating, “Infidelity is not something we condone, but it does happen, and I just wanted to challenge myself to tell a story from a perspective that we haven't done before in our previous songs. Life and love and the challenges you face along the way with relationships are really complex, and I really wanted to convey that in this song. We are both grown up now, and you have either experienced something like this yourself, or know someone close to you that has. Although lyrically it has more of a serious tone, we still tried to bring our usual vibe to it.”
'FIDELITY' is a testament to Midnight Pool Party’s ongoing evolution, both musically and personally. They’re pushing their creative boundaries with each release, proving that you can explore profound themes without sacrificing that irresistible urge to move. So, if you're looking for a track that makes you think as much as it makes you dance, 'FIDELITY' is your new obsession.
