• The classic old-school vibe, in a shinier package
• Impressive talent with the buildup details
• Beautiful vocal performance, a must-have in the genre
At the time of reviewing Timmy Trumpet last week, I promised to focus on a different name than the usual to highlight new talents, thus here I am! Trevor Omoto was an easy and fast pick: after being provided with nostalgic Progressive House production encapsulating an astonishing vocal presence and heartwarming melodies, my choice was immediately bolstered.
“Never Let Me Go” has just been released by the Canadian producer on Revealed Radar, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Some may know Trevor for “The Way” (another must-listen, a greatly catchy belter famously supported by the likes of Jonas Aden and Brooks) and his Future House releases on FHC, even if sometimes one can hear his inclinations towards a Progressive format that pops out in tracks like “Turn Your Life Around”.
The young whiz, this time around, switched to a familiar sound paying plenty of attention to the vocal department that characterizes his signature flair and the energetic build-ups. “Never Let Me Go”, is in fact, lively and dynamic while holding onto cliches that enhance the sweet flavor. I’ll even boldly throw out a DubVision/Manse comparison while at it, just to deliver an idea of what I am describing when I hear this particular trademark style.
Enjoying the transition from the breakdown, which is dominated by the piano, is then headed by the pre-drop section. Starting from the vocal, a gorgeous one, Trevor Omoto openly displays his nifty skills with build-ups, since the smoothness of the passage is so elegant that I almost didn’t comprehend that the drop had even entered the stage! Overall, the sound design is stunning, and everything comes off as polished, especially the main lead!
Even if there is a distinct lack of a unique element here, “Never Let Me Go” is hands down a well-arranged and composed song that deserves its spot on the Radar imprint. Trevor is clearly versatile, showing that he can conveniently switch genres without hiccups. If I were you, I would be keeping an eye on his upcoming projects.
