PvD’s ensemble single ‘Everyone Needs Love’ is still visible in the release rearview, and he keeps up the march with a seamless swing back into the production game. By contrast to ‘Everyone’ though, new single ‘Touched By Heaven’ finds him in a solo, instrumental mode… and a more reflective, introspective mood.
With fire in its production engine, ‘Touched’ gets airborne in double quick time. It gathers around high tensile sub-riffs, which are anchored by indomitable drums and manifestly PvD-ish bass. With its quixotic midpoint pads & chords, Paul ploughs a deep seam of emotion into the track. At its point of greatest intensity, he draws all these elements spectacularly back together to tie off a trancer that takes 2017 straight up to 37,000ft.
