Music has the power to move both body and spirit, and HOT SKIN and Megan Kashat’s “You Are God” fittingly captures this dynamic at the crossroads of rhythm and soul.
Inviting listeners to a realm where music and spirituality entwine, the new collaboration is assembled with dynamic Afro house instrumentation at the forefront. Characterized by a tapestry of hand drums, shakers and echoing vocals, the track’s lyrics resonate like hushed affirmations whispered from one ear to another.
“Music, at its core, is a healing force. ‘You Are God’ is more than just a melodic house/techno track — it’s a spiritual journey,” HOT SKIN shares with EDM.com.
The sense of journey is palpable as Kashat’s voice delivers lyrics rich with self actualization, words that echo over warm, enveloping pads. The vocal phrases, minimal yet powerful, are underscored by gentle synths that gives the track’s rich, percussive core room to shine. That interplay of vocals and rhythm serves as the the foundation, echoing the sentiment of self-discovery.
The track stands as a flagship piece for Lush Sunday’s Abundance compilation album, which showcases the imprint’s ongoing dedication to Afro house sounds. The compilation’s ethos is a celebration of the rapidly proliferating genre that seeks to bridge global cultures.
As Paige, co-founder of Lush Sunday, expresses, “Founding Lush Sunday has been one of the most rewarding decisions of our career. The talent within this label is extraordinary — an abundance of gifted musicians and remarkable music.”
