Stefan Schulzki and Vanessa Spanier spark desire with electro-pop gem "Crush On You"

German composer and producer Stefan Schulzki returns with a captivating tune, "Crush On You," an upbeat electropop single that combines cinematic vibes with funky grooves and authentic live elements. It is the irresistible voice of Vanessa Spanier that stands at its centre, her sensual approach effortlessly capturing both openness and the conflict of illicit longing.

"Crush On You" is characterized by relentless energy and a warm, retro feel. Schulzki layers glimmering synths and fat keys, along with guitars, bass, and live drums, to build his tracks. Violins, played by Alvar Ceamanos, Adriana Gabrian, Aleksandra Manic, and Mariko Umae, lend it an even greater emotional impact, weaving between the beat like echoes of desire. As organic and electronic meet, the track is both intimate and spacious, personal yet danceable.

The song captures the bittersweet battle between temptation and restraint, where desire is undeniable yet subject to the strain of friction. Spanier's voice bears this ambivalence with grace, and the harmonies in the background by Caro Stechl and Theresa Sittenauer add depth to the emotional shades. While the groove-heavy bass line, courtesy of Florian Hartz and Robin Tóth on drums, adds vibrancy and movement underpinning such tight methodology, this becomes an experience that is gripping.

With lyrics composed, the arrangement written, and the single produced, it channels an artist's eye towards meticulous detail, not to mention polish, thanks to René Jesser's mixing and Ludwig Maier's mastering. The end product is a song that sounds cinematic in its scope and personal in its narrative. "Crush On You" is a work of art, full of feeling, rich in arrangement, and absolutely grooving. Stefan Schulzki showcases his talent for creating music that lingers in your mind.
