• “Interstellar” vibes
• Emotional and pulsating drop
• Exquisite vocal performance
Fun fact: I lost complete interest on Hexagon this year. Not an amusing thought I know, despite being a blunt fact that will be agreed by some. The once leading brand of Spinnin’ Records went independent, and also launched countless sub-labels to push blatant generic stuff to stay relevant. So it becomes obvious that their marketing efforts often doesn’t push the underrated works getting released; having never heard of Maurice Lessing before, “Save Us” is nothing short of a magnum opus worth listening!

“Save Us” disregards brevity of standard timing most songs have these days, lasting over a memorable 200 seconds. Maurice begins with an esoteric atmosphere and an even impressive vocal companion that touches your heart from within, while a minimalistic and spacious build-up occurs sans snare.
The drop is a protagonist that deserves a full paragraph. Branding a futuristic hook and an incredible piano feature, this segment is lavish with elements well-placed, and one has to really perceive and distinguish again, the piano is simply magical and conforms to a groovy touch, staying there for a while.
In the second half of the performance, there’s a tinge of Future Rave. The bassline is stunning, and the changing of the cadence also clicks with the other components mentioned before. In brief words, every decision taken in the making of this single comes off as a splendid choice, painting a bigger picture.
Coming to a conclusion, the Dortmund based producer has struck upon a successful formula that consists of charming attributes, right from the beginning. “Save Us” is a deserved 90+ that shouldn’t be skipped by any means, and by far, one of my favourite record composed in this year.
