With “EVE OF 4/20,” Salyse has sculpted an opalescent dreamscape, spinning strands of neo-soul and pop into satin ribbons of sound that tether us to the celestial while bowing in reverence to worldly wisdom. The echoes of Marvin Gaye’s lyrical gospel blend with Chaka Khan’s bold melodies, a colourful cauldron stirred by Erykah Badu’s incensed spirituality under the neon-glow of Kaytranada-infused house rhythm.
Drenched in rhythmic waves crashing against shores etched in disco glamour and soulful grit, Salyse’s voice seems plucked from Aphrodite’s throbbing heart—rich velvet dipped in wild honey that osculates between lilting innocence and scorning prophecy.
Plummeting through this sonic rabbit hole means surviving tempests spun from iridescent synth threads, then surfacing gasping for breath on serenely swaying seas where basslines drift like languid jellyfish. Each verse laps over you: a sigh known only to midnight lovers; each chorus roars: the defiance keening at daybreak.
Brilliant beams converge illuminating dance floors transformed into pandemic refuges writhed around our hearts—heightening senses crippled by forced isolation yet glowing with resiliency’s defiant spark—in this bittersweet ballad preaching joyous surrender amidst ruthless chaos. And so it is: this smoky siren struggles brilliantly against infuriatingly common despair—an existence-affirming coup d’état echoing long past its final spectral note fades gently into our trembling marrow. Raw yet refined, euphoric yet melancholic—it is light within shadows dancing on reality’s blade edge—a psychedelic lullaby hymning life in all its conflicted glory whispered just before dawn on the eve…of 4/20!
