ROOM8
This Place Again (feat. Polina)
This Place Again (feat. Polina)
L.A. based electro-pop duo ROOM8 have steadily been on what Vegas gamblers like to call a “heater”. Recently the pair have been dropping single tasty morsels in the lead up to the release of an EP later this fall, namely “No Hard Feelings” last month, and now “This Place Again”. The pair aren’t skimping on guest star power either, utilizing the incredibly fitting vocal stylings of Russian-bred Polina who has strewn those breathy reverberations for the likes of Tiësto, Eminem, Steve Aoki and one of our favorite electro staples: Felix Cartal’s “Don’t Turn On The Lights”. Without a doubt, the pairing of ROOM8 and Polina has resulted in a pure, 80’s washed pop single that’s been hooked on this writer’s office monitors since first listen. ROOM8’s deft use of loopy acid synths against Polina’s incantations and what sounds to be an analog set of drums works together beautifully, and has us throwing around that weighty “Summer Anthem” tag pretty freely. Let us know if we were right, and stream “This Place Again” above.
