Los Angeles, CA – Friday, August 28 – Los Angeles-based producer duo TELYKAST joins forces with Canadian singer-songwriter LORYN for “Better When You’re Gone”, a vocal-driven progressive house anthem arriving on Lost In Dreams Records. A tearjerker about triumph over heartbreak, the new single pairs TELYKAST’s euphoric production with LORYN’s honest songwriting and captivating vocal performance.
“Better When You’re Gone” captures the emotional release that comes with reclaiming a better version of yourself after heartbreak. LORYN’s enrapturing delivery moves effortlessly between mellifluous croons and arresting vocal belts, bringing raw vulnerability and catharsis to the track. Her performance sits atop buttery melodies and poignant, piano-led soundscapes before building into lofty stutterhouse climaxes, ethereal vocal pulsations, and majestic horn melodies.
The release builds upon TELYKAST and LORYN’s chemistry first showcased on their previous collaboration, “The Good Part”. Released last year, the track has amassed 1.59 million streams to date and earned support from prominent dance artists including Illenium, Frank Walker, Morgan Page, Lucas & Steve, and Martin Garrix.
Known for transmitting euphoric frequencies across the vocal-led, melodic, and progressive house landscape, TELYKAST has built a reputation around one core mission: creating “music that makes people feel”. Their crossover anthems have translated into significant commercial success, with multiple No. 1 US Dance Radio records including “Super Powers”, “Unbreakable”, “You Got Me”, “Body To Body”, and “Feel Again”.
Raised in Vancouver, LORYN is a Canadian singer-songwriter making strides in the alt-pop space while simultaneously collaborating with some of the most in-demand names in dance music. Her growing catalog includes high-profile collaborations with Boston Bun, VisionV, and Warriner, as well as her standout collaboration with Rudimental, “Stand By”, which has amassed 13.74 million streams and received radio support from BBC Radio 1 and George FM.
“Signing a song to Lost In Dreams / Insomniac has been a dream of ours for a long time so this means a lot to us. We also couldn’t be more excited to do this with our friend Loryn who has one of the best vocals we’ve ever worked with.” – TELYKAST
“There’s something about looking back at a relationship that once felt so heavy and hard, and seeing it through a different lens. Finding words for feelings you couldn’t quite name at the time. And then, getting to sit in a room with people you love, and turn that feeling into a song… there’s something kind of strange and beautiful about it. Taking something that was once just yours and making it something other people can feel too.
This song is about trying and trying and trying to make something work, and that bittersweet realisation that sometimes the thing you’re fighting so hard to hold onto is actually the thing you need to let go of.” – LORYN
