European producer Rojo B Cruz is no stranger to making you move, and his latest single, “Echoes of Silence” released this June 3, is a full-on anthem ready to ignite dance floors. But beneath the infectious melody and thumping beats lies a surprisingly profound message.
“Echoes of Silence” opens with a hypnotic soundscape, a bed of tapping and pattering that draws you in before the singer’s husky vocals echo through the immersive air. It’s introspective and thoughtful and it contrasts the explosion of sound that follows.
Then, the beat kicks in with a steady thump that builds anticipation before the chorus explodes. Here, Cruz’s voice soars with anthemic power, pleading, “Can you hear the echoes of silence / in the noise of defiance?” What sounds like a desperate call for unity, aims to break through the constant conflict to find common ground.
The music mirrors this sentiment. Pulsating EDM surges through the track, punctuated by the sparkling splash of cymbals. It’s vibrant, and energetic, yet tinged with a yearning for something more. This is music that demands movement, but also reflection.
Fans of the early works of Avicii and Swedish House Mafia will find familiar territory here, but Cruz injects his own distinct flavor. The artist got great taste backing up his music with influences like Gabry Ponte, Basshunter, and Alan Walker nostalgically giving him the ground for originality.
So, smash that play button on Spotify or Apple Music and listen to the empowering “Echoes of Silence” washing away the blues.
