Qeaux Qeaux Joans & LAUTMALR “Last Night”
The art of memory making to capture the moment when your heart fall in love. In retrospect, the moment your heart skip a beat deepens filtered through a mood-filled nostalgia—a sensuous high, a haunting gaze to the back—the feelings in “Last Night” are like that, complicated, a little saddened yet euphoric. Producer LAUMALR and songstress Qeaux Qeaux Joans comes back together with another unforgettable single, “Last Night,” painting a melancholy Berlin romanticism, where unexpected encounters result in lingering fragrance.
The filmic single, though stirring a sense of EDM with dark pop sensitivity, reminds you of Lana Del Ray’s sad girl, sunset Californian impression. Minimalistic silky soundscape breathes an airy modernity. Transparent even at times, so tastefully altering the tones of Joans’ vocal, shedding light on the sophisticated, flavorful nuanced expressions in her voice. Like having flashed through a tailored filter, Joans’ voice appears in flamboyant richness while at times evoking a lighter-than-feather somberness.
“Last Night” evokes many serious picturesque visualizations. It’s hard not to be drawn into the mood and situations painted in the song. Intoxicating as it is haunting. The mood and atmosphere alone could mess up your emotions in a subtle yet drastic way. The fragmented lyrics almost feel like a calling, a craving of a night in Berlin, the one when you wake up with music still ringing in your ears and heart pounding. A touch that never truly leaves your skin.
There’s soaking deep 80s feel in the sound, though not immediately upfront. It’s more of an aesthetic, like someone who left their heart in the past. LAUTMALR’s production is impeccable. He seems to have a sharp eye and unique taste for talent, who also possess the talent for bringing out the best yet unexpected of those talent. He dims the color and shifts the mood with a single addition of elements. From an expressive perception to an atmospheric EDM-infused club s scene, the change is minimal yet transformational.
Qeaux Qeaux Joans and LAUTMALR initially bonded over their first released single “Daydream,” where this impressionistic romanticism first become a reality. Deep into “Last Night,” there seems to be a blending happening between the two creative minds, bringing out an even diverse palette and range of emotions.
