Seattle native Orlost has been refining his sound in the melodic bass realm with a catalog that pairs heartfelt hooks and compelling production. Australian producer UNDEFYND has been drawing from his metal and rock roots to create emotion-driven melodic bass and progressive house. RUNN is an L.A.-based singer-songwriter making her mark in pop and electronic music. The three artists unite for a motivational ballad aptly titled “Here’s To Hope.” The song is slated to release via SLANDER’s Heaven Sent imprint on May 23rd. The release builds on the success of Orlost and UNDEFYND’s previous collaborations, “Way Too Good,” as well as “I’m Still Here” with Nina Sung.
“Here’s To Hope” is an uplifting anthem that offers sonic strength through life’s challenges. RUNN’s soulful topline sparkles with optimism, as her lyrics trace uncertainty all through to elation while rays of sunshine give signs of a better future. The rocktronic production mixes jovial piano keys, euphoric guitar licks, and crisp drum patterns. A bright future bass drop scores the rising sense of hope from its soaring vocal bends and powerful synths. A refined breakdown allows RUNN’s voice to take center stage before enveloping into an enchanting melodic drum & bass resolution. The frenetic dance-inducing pace hits like a shot of pure serotonin to lift listeners into a higher plane of happiness.
UNDEFYND breaks down the message behind the release, saying, “‘Here’s To Hope’ is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, you’re not alone. Life can be overwhelming, but there’s strength in choosing to keep going—and beauty in the mess we all share.”
