Continuing on the narrative of The Mietus Touch’s debut album Transcendental Souvenirs, producer/multi-instrumentalist Joseph Mietus returns with dazzling, synth-coiled “Dancing in the Stars.” The nostalgic love song takes the audience for a spin under the glistening starlight.

“Dancing in the Stars” stays true to its title. It wraps you like a cloud hug, while the beats don’t shy away from sweeping you off your feet. It makes you think of now and forever, being in Joseph Mietus’s lush sonic imagination.

Mietus’ vocal exposes a soulfully soft warmth that at times lifts you up above the silky clouds, and at times catches you off guard with its blunt emotions The mood is rich and intoxicating which makes you want to sink a little deeper into the sonic world filled with ethereal, retro fantasies.

The Mietus Touch is a project that in a way feels like it’s growing and being built like a multiverse, where stories and different possibilities are intertwined together into something larger at scale. There’s a need for the story to be continued when the music stops, and there’s an even greater need for the conversation to keep going.
