The Ninja on this record

At 130 in A-flat minor, this is trance-adjacent melodic house with the vocal sitting right up front — Sarah De Warren's line carries the melody while the low end pumps underneath, sidechained and patient. The pads are wide and a little cold, which keeps the sentiment from tipping into syrup.

Energy reads 9, and it earns that in the last third rather than the first: the arrangement holds back, letting the hook repeat until it wears a groove into the room. It's a lift record, the kind you slot at the point where a set needs to open out — not a peak, more the run-up to one. I'd play it early in a bigger room and let the space do the rest.
