Released under SWIM Records, "Born Again" struts into your ears with a technicolor confidence. DJ Piscine expertly softens the whimsy of early-2000s pop vocals with a bubbly house music track that sounds refreshingly modern and charmingly familiar. The production has a cheeky audition feel that lets you off the hook for endless meanings, to just let go, smile, and maybe even spin around under a disco ball, real or imagined.
The track is a love letter to a time when radio hits were unapologetically joyful, and club cuts didn't shy away from feeling. And yet, this isn't some kind of throwback. Piscine's futuristic sheen recasts the sound entirely in his glitzy, glitchy, gloriously genre-bashing image. It's pop, but it's also spiritual in its kinetic sense. It's a rebirth on the dancefloor, a kind of aural baptism.
Each synth stab and vocal flicker feels purposeful, like it's winking at you from a dance floor dimension where the lights are just a bit brighter. With "PRAY Pt.1" due out on June 27th, "Born Again" indicates what to expect on the whole EP and what you can expect from this emerging voice in dance music that doesn't shy away from mixing fun with feeling. For lovers of technicolor, emotional movement, and memorable hooks, "Born Again" is a glow-up anthem for the heart.
