The dynamic force from Los Angeles Softest Hard is flipping the switch for seduction on her follow-up release. Joined by the Grammy-winning artist from Colombia, Kali Uchis, “La Luz” wastes no time at dimming the lights and letting the wildest fantasies take the floor. Uchi’s lush bilingual vocal delivery lands in a place beyond temptation, curling up its finger to move the action over into the bedroom. The Spanish lyrics are pinned down by a glistening trap-infused beat, which lights up the space around her sultry tones with a flurry of 808 drums, rattling low-end, and ethereal melodies. In signature Softest Hard style, she closes out the track with a pounding climax smothered in hard dance ecstasy.
“This record brings out the seductive side of me,” says Softest Hard. “The buildup is airy and pretty with a bouncy, trappy drop. A true Softest Hard masterpiece.”
“La Luz” was originally released as a single on Kali Uchis’ third studio album, ‘Sin Miedo.’ The song was based around “that moment when you set your sights on someone and can’t wait to do everything freaky imaginable with them.” Softest Hard was tapped to stir those emotions to the surface on its official music video, in which she played the singer’s love interest, literally driving the pleasure all the way up to cloud 9. A few years down the road now, and this new rendition serves as a full-circle moment for these close friends and two artists who are thriving in their respective lanes.
The track arrives on the heels of Softest Hard’s debut appearance with the HARD imprint back in February. “Do Over” enlisted the stunning vocal talents of another Grammy winner, the Haitian songwriting sensation Stacey Barthe. The life-affirming topline was elevated by a feel-good trap production that effectively added a whole new layer to Softest Hard’s ever-evolving repertoire. And clearly, she is nowhere near reaching the edges of her creative borders.
Softest Hard’s new single “La Luz,” featuring Kali Uchis, is available everywhere via HARD Recs.
