Ernesto has previously been hailed as "everything that is good with Swedish soul". This time, he takes his souly vocals deep into a quirky electronica soundscape. The vocals are also slightly more electronic sounding, as the choir arrangements reverberate with a digital Melodyne flavor. Musically and productionwise there are many sounds that connects to the productions of previous singles "Love Comes Round" and "Spin On", although this time the cooking minimal beats are moved centerstage, even though they never break out in a full on four-to-the-floor. The craving for a steady beat and bassdrum is however excellently remedied with the remix by DJ Nibc (aka Fredrik Nyberg), an exile Gothenburgian now living in Berlin. The mixture of deep, lush and chilly can perhaps be attributed to a mix of a Scandinavian and a Berliner sound. Or maybe it should just be attributed to an impressive remixer, walking his own path of clearcut quality.
