Gouryella feat. Saskia Lie Atjam - Marama (Moon & Stars) [Flashover]

[Freezer]

At the end of the day, this is the best track I heard on this forum in the last month. I was not super-happy about the vocals at first listen, but now I do enjoy them and the whole track is just great
9/10

I did actually get a copy and then without listening through in advance, put it on last in a mix I was doing. Hoped for some of the Ferry magic to come and slap me in the scrotum.

Felt really underwhelmed sadly, and the vocals just made me feel like I've come down with a fever.

Instrumental is not bad it's closer to what he used to produce. Vocals are terrible though.

Why didn't he use such percussions or sounds for Anahera, Neba, Surga and Orenda? I didn't how they sounded always felt the newer gouyella sounded more weak like some amateur producer has produced it. This one sounds like Ferry Corsten a bit but the arpeggio sounds shit and bassline as well it needs a gouryella bassline. It doesn't have a catchy melody at all.

So finally listened to the full thing. I actually don't dislike the vocals. They are quite nice. Not overly SCREAMYYYYY WHOOOOOO. Calm, pleasant. Nice.

The melody is nice too. Not the most instantly classic recognizable, but flows very nicely.

Might get in my top list for the year. Good one.

A bit generic main melody but everything else sounds good.

 

[Rok]

Bit late to the party, but I like this as well. Vocals are definitely a bit on the cringey side, but overall the tracks just makes me feel good.

Might be a little bit off-topic, but I personally think the family name of the vocalist (Lie Atjam) is probably of Chinese origin.

In the Netherlands, there are many Chinese descendants who use the full name of their ancestors as their family name. I think that the vocalist may have a Chinese ancestor named Lie Atjam (possibly "李亞章" or something like that).

This may be a good example of cross-cultural communication.

Vocals are not perfect, but the production is good.
