Solarstone, the iconic trance project helmed by Richard Mowatt, delivers yet another masterful creation with their latest release, “Thinking of You,” under the Black Hole Recordings label. This track is a quintessential example of why Solarstone remains a beloved name in the trance community, blending emotional depth with dancefloor energy in a way that few can replicate.
“Thinking of You” starts unassuming, with an elemental foundation that grows organically, much like the acorn-to-oak analogy the press release so aptly describes. The track’s initial simplicity is deceptive, as it steadily accumulates layers of sound that build into a crescendo of pure trance bliss. The bassline is driving and groovy, creating a pulsating rhythm that hooks you from the outset. As the track progresses, timbale-style percussion and mid-90s-inspired effects inject a sense of nostalgia while keeping the energy fresh and modern.
One of the standout features of “Thinking of You” is its main melody, which is horn-tipped and irresistibly catchy. It’s the kind of riff that lingers long after the track has ended, making it a perfect anthem for late-night club sets. The melody’s evolution throughout the track is a testament to Solarstone’s production prowess, as it seamlessly integrates with the underlying grooves and rhythms.
True to Solarstone’s signature style, there’s an emotional core to the track that elevates it beyond mere dance music. As the press release hints, Barber-esque strings sweep through the breakdown, tugging at the heartstrings with a poignant and cinematic touch. The instrumental harmonies, which have been subtly woven into the track’s fabric, come to the forefront during this moment, revealing the titular theme in all its glory. The drop that follows is nothing short of euphoric, ensuring that “Thinking of You” resonates emotionally and ignites the dancefloor.
“Thinking of You” is a shining example of what makes Solarstone a mainstay in the trance scene. It’s a track that builds anticipation and delivers on every level, with rich layers of sound, an unforgettable melody, and an emotional resonance that’s hard to shake. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Solarstone’s music, this release is sure to find a special place in your playlist.
