Matrix & Futurebound ft Baby Blue –

Magnetic Eyes

Earlier this year Matrix & Futurebound launched themselves into the UK Top 30 with epic anthem, All I Know, making them one of the very few DnB artists to be able to stake a position within the national charts. It was up the duo to do their genre proud and produce a respectable and successful sequel to the smash, while also ensuring that they did not repeat themselves in the process.

Despite this pressure, they have managed to produce a song with a very different feel and design to the previous single; this is partly helped by the female vocals of Baby Blue who adds a brilliant, sweet ambience to the song. The only con of how the vocal has been used within the song is that it does seem to slightly dominate over the beat and doesn't leave the stunning productions of Matrix & Futurebound as much room to breathe as they possibly deserve. This is a small factor however. The duo have mastered the art of entwining vocals into their bass melodies with a distinct well-blended outcome full of uplifting power.

The duo might have just pinpointed the future of commercial DnB. This tune has not been created to solely smash the clubs and stay in the underground, no, this record along with its commercial friendly vocals, is meant to bring the genre to the masses. It isn’t as if they have sold out and made a purely pop-focused record, don’t worry, they have stayed true to their genre and instead brought DnB to the doorstep of the charts. There is no doubt that this song is constructed to please a wider audience, taking the radio and TV stations for a rigorous ride and also looking set to cause some mayhem in the charts.

Rating: 9/10
