MEDUZA x HAYLA
ANOTHER WORLD
Arguably the biggest release on AETERNA to date comes in the form of powerhouse a collaboration between label bosses MEDUZA, and ascendant, GRAMMY nominated vocalist HAYLA in what promises to be an existential culmination of electronic and vocal sound, “Another World.”
“Another World” is an homage to the ethereal but also visceral emotions that music can draw out. The initial phase of the vocal drifts and harmonises with the beat cutting through, driving the pace of the record before HAYLA’s powerful voice calls out to the listener. The plucky synths call back to the euphoria of records forged in the seminal years of dance music, alongside the atmospheric sonic trademark of Meduza, the ‘bell sound’, heightening the senses before HAYLA’s cinematic vocals and the beat drive as one to ensnare all senses to connect to “Another World.”
The Italian trio have enjoyed collaborations with the absolute spearhead of vocal artists in British dance music including Poppy Baskcomb, Becky Hill and Clementine Douglas culminating in over a billion streams across the respective records. “Another World” seeks to grow upon these numbers in spades with increasingly emergent HAYLA providing the grandiosity required to elevate the signature MEDUZA atmospheric soundscape, with her award winning powerhouse vocals that have propelled her to global recognition and hundreds of millions of streams to her name.
Meduza comment that, “We wanted to make ‘Another World’ to take people on a journey, both musically but also as if they could close their eyes and dream of something and have this record in their mind to soundtrack that journey into what they imagine. Collaborating with HAYLA is something unique and special— we were really taken aback by the power in her voice but also the emotion which shines through from the very first time she sings the chorus. When we play the track in front of an audience this only elevates this experience as they quickly know the words and have their hands up and eyes closed whilst singing along”
“‘Another World’ questions if love is destined. Noticing the invisible tie that connects us all through space and time. Knowing that your love is strong enough to find that person or group of people in a completely different world. You could find them again and again and again. This song is about the ones we love and how we’re guided back to one another even through the toughest times,” HAYLA adds. “Working with Meduza has been incredible. Their production around the melody and lyrical content elevates the track into a mystic melodic piece that has anthemic routes pulling the listener into their world. I wanted to create a track that everyone could find themselves in and their own story and sing it at the top of their lungs. This song is for everybody. Now it’s yours.”
