The production is the heart of “Skill of Love”, where tension and release are perfectly balanced. The track opens with an airy vocal refrain that loops continuously, building a spacious, almost ethereal atmosphere. As the song progresses, the bright, signature piano chords introduce an uplifting element, giving the track a sense of hope and euphoria. Beneath this, a subtle, whirring bassline creeps in, adding a darker, sinister edge that propels the track forward, maintaining a captivating sense of suspense throughout.
Alex Wann reflects on the track, saying, “With Skill of Love, we wanted to create a sound that speaks to the energy of the dancefloor while tapping into deeper emotional layers- there’s a balance of light and dark, creating a truly immersive experience.” Their ability to blend moments of joy with anticipation highlights the distinctiveness of their sound.
Fans can catch Alex Wann live at his upcoming performances at Tomorrowland, Pacha Ibiza, Lollapalooza Paris, and many more. With past collaborations including remixes for Adriatique and WhoMadeWho, and a string of high-profile appearances, Wann’s rise continues to cement his place in the global dance music scene.
