Slightly spacious and immersive in its ethereal energy, IRYS’s dreamy and artful electro pop journey on ‘Borderline’ is bound to hypnotise you. Her vocals, echoing and brimming with a certain effervescence, reel you in to this rather sultry and imaginative arrangement. The backing production is rife with a host of subtle electronic effects that make the piece stand out as something distinct. Not a rave inducing anthem whatsoever, it opts for a much more soft and supple composition to really drive home that feeling behind the mellow and sultry vocal delivery.
It’s brimming with darkness, but not the kind that feels dreary or dull. Rather, it feels almost spiritual and haunting while hearing it, while still carrying within a central theme and feeling that exudes a radiance.
