It took a while to familiarise ourselves with Persha’s haunting, liminal artistic outlook. Oscillating between nocturne electronica, 80s influences and a keen synthwave touch, the Canadian producer and songwriter has so far collected an impressive catalogue of personal, quirky material. The talented creative seems to be most at home on the fringe of pop music, infusing hypnotic, anthemic melodies on top of retro-lenient pieces and evocative atmospheres.
‘A step back’ is the perfect evidence of that. Built on a fierce and towering electro-synth beat, the single feels rather cinematic and epic, jumping from a gloomy verse to an electrifying, expansive chorus. Persha’s vocals rise to the occasion, showcasing their luscious class and unmatched elegance.
Delving deeper into the inspiration behind the song, Persha explains: “I wanted my song A Step Back to feel like a dreamy, cinematic electro-synth-pop escape, with retro synths shimmering over a pulsing beat. The vocals oscillate between a cry for freedom and a quiet surrender to universal laws. I want people to lose themselves in it, go deep, and come back empowered.”
