In the evolving melodic house & techno landscape, Lost In Dreams Records consistently serves as a beacon for innovative music. This reputation is further solidified with the release of "Fault Line," a collaborative single from Los Angeles-based talents Pauline Herr and Marlhy. The track marks a significant milestone for Herr, known for her dynamic presence in the melodic dance scene, as she introduces a partnership with the multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Marlhy, enhancing her genre-spanning repertoire.
"Fault Line" is a unique blend of trance, melodic bass, and techno, creating a cohesive auditory experience that mirrors the emotional upheaval of a disintegrating romance. Marlhy's velvety vocals narrate the tectonic shifts of a failing relationship, backed by melancholic chords that crescendo into a color bass build. The track climaxes with rippling melodic techno riffs, vocoded synths, and sparkling chimes, culminating in a trance-like finale that is both epic and deeply introspective.
Discussing the creative process behind the song, Pauline Herr shares her excitement about collaborating with Marlhy: "'Fault Line' is a really special track to me because it's my first time working with a female vocalist and I'm such a fan of Marlhy's work. I originally wasn't planning on having a full vocal on this song, but I showed it to Marlhy, and her vocal brought it to life. This song represents the hurt and anger that come towards the end of a relationship."
Marlhy's contributions to "Fault Line" are both vocal and deeply personal, reflecting her unwavering commitment to authenticity in her music. "By being honest and vulnerable about my own struggles, I hope people feel empowered to get through theirs," Marlhy states. "I want people to know they aren't alone and have the strength to overcome anything."
Diverse influences and significant collaborations, including tracks with notable names like Illenium, Alison Wonderland, and NGHTMRE, have marked Pauline Herr's journey through the music industry. Her debut single on Lost In Dreams, "Lightyears," received acclaim and extensive radio support, setting the stage for her burgeoning career. Beyond the studio, Herr is making waves on her debut headline tour and at major festivals such as EDC Las Vegas and Beyond Wonderland.
