Review of “Gareth Emery feat. 旺仔小乔 – Fallen”

Gareth Emery’s latest release, “Fallen,” featuring the vocals of Chinese singer 旺仔小乔 (Wang Zai Xiao Qiao), is a captivating blend of trance and Mandarin lyrics, marking a refreshing departure from Emery’s usual sound. Released on Create Music Group, “Fallen” stands out for its distinctive vocal language and the journey behind its creation. As Emery shared, “I love this one. It’s entirely different from anything you would have heard from me before as the vocal is entirely in Mandarin Chinese.”

The track was born out of an almost serendipitous moment. While on tour in Beijing, Emery stumbled upon the original acoustic version of the song in a shop. Instantly drawn to it, he knew that it would make a perfect trance record if a collaboration could happen. However, the process of bringing the vision to life was no easy feat. Emery mentioned the challenges he faced in tracking down both the singer and the label: “Six months of Google Translate and a lot of precision vocal extracting work later, ‘Fallen’ is out and I love how it turned out!”

Musically, “Fallen” is rich in atmosphere, with soaring melodies and emotional depth, embodying the signature trance elements Emery is known for, yet with an additional layer of cultural resonance. The Mandarin vocals provide an ethereal quality, making the track feel both exotic and accessible. Despite the linguistic barrier for many listeners, the emotional delivery transcends language, drawing you into the narrative.

“Fallen” is an example of Emery’s willingness to take risks and explore new creative territories. It’s a track that feels personal and innovative, resonating with both his long-time fans and new listeners alike. With its unique cultural fusion and emotional soundscapes, “Fallen” is a must-listen, not just for trance enthusiasts but for anyone who appreciates music that dares to be different.
