CloudNone continues to push the boundaries of his craft following the success of his recent Lost In Dreams release, ‘Bliss’ EP, whose lead track “Quiet of My Mind” received airplay from Illenium and Alison Wonderland, along with praise from platforms like Iggy Magazine and Music For All. His ethereal production style is the foundation for “Circles,” where he shares the spotlight with Abandoned, the Danish duo known for their deeply emotive melodic dubstep. Abandoned takes a bold creative leap here, exploring liquid drum & bass influences while retaining their penchant for atmospheric soundscapes.
Nina Sung, no stranger to Lost In Dreams, previously appeared on the label with standout collaborations like “Fall Back to You” alongside Synymata and “I’ll Be There” with STAR SEED. On “Circles,” her hauntingly expressive vocals provide the emotional core of the track, narrating the universal struggle of feeling trapped in cycles of stagnation and pain. Her poignant yet hopeful lyrics are expertly paired with delicate piano progressions, glittering tonal textures, and fluid synth lines. The interplay of these elements finds a perfect balance between introspection and movement.
The track carries a layered history. Initially conceptualized by Abandoned in 2021, it went through several iterations before CloudNone and Nina Sung added their unique touches. After the completion of CloudNone’s debut album in 2023, the team reignited the collaboration, bringing it to life with Nina’s lyrical depth and emotive delivery. The result is a lush, genre-blending production that expands the boundaries of melodic bass music.
CloudNone touches on how the collab came to be: “‘Circles’ is a unique offering from Abandoned, Nina Sung, and myself. We went in circles a bit throughout the writing process, but ultimately landed with this beautiful, soft, emotive piece and I’m so stoked to have it out in the world.”
Elucidating on the slight deviation they took for their new track, Abandoned shares: “We’re excited to share that this song marks a departure from our usual style. Collaborating with CloudNone was an incredible experience that pushed us out of our comfort zones, allowing us to create something we’re truly proud of. Nina’s vocals beautifully tie the track together, making it the perfect fit for our debut release under the Lost in Dreams label.”
Lastly, Nina Sung breaks down the meaning behind the song’s lyrics, saying “The song came out about when Cloudnone reached out to work on his track with the Abandoned guys, and I knew from the melancholic sounds that it had to be about something we’ve all experienced: that feeling of running around trying to get ahead and progress past pain but feeling like you’re still stuck.”
“Circles” has already turned heads with a live debut of the song performed by Nina Sung during CloudNone’s standout set at the Lost In Dreams festival in Los Angeles this past summer, earning enthusiastic reactions from fans. With CloudNone’s innovative sound design, Abandoned’s evolving production style, and Nina Sung’s unmistakable vocal presence, “Circles” is yet another milestone for Lost In Dreams and stands as a vivid example of true collaboration.
CloudNone, Abandoned, and Nina Sung’s new single “Circles” is available on all platforms via Lost In Dreams Records.
