Electronic music sensation Rival makes his return to Lost In Dreams alongside Netherlands-based singer/songwriter Diandra Faye.

“Scars” is a powerful ballad built around the growth and recovery of escaping a damaging relationship. The track follows Rival’s label debut “Knock On Wood” with Highlnd and Lousy, as well as his follow-up single “Say The Word” with Billy Lockett; and marks Diandra Faye’s return to the label following “Good Enough” on Crystal Skies’ debut LP ‘Not Since When.’

Teeming with emotion, “Scars” is a strikingly raw display from the ever-talented collaborators. Pensive piano keys and drifting strings are interwoven for a cinematic introduction. Diandra Faye’s topline is poignant yet powerful, unleashing all of the pain while remaining in full control. The healing lyrics and compelling vocals fight for rebound, moving past the scars to a brighter horizon. Dramatic drums and a building sonic energy match the intensity of her vocal performance, creating an amplified effect. The swirling melodic bass drops mix echoing vocals, captivating synths, dark undertones, and a tenacious spirit swept away by a whirlwind of feelings. “Scars” traces the highs and lows of a break-up, moving between beautiful soul-stirring melodic sections and epic bursts of unbridled emotion in the form of melodic dubstep.

Rival opens up about the track, saying: “I’m really excited to be back with Lost In Dreams. It’s an honor to be a part of this label, which is always pushing the boundaries in melodic electronic music. ‘Scars’ reflects my personal style, combining emotional piano, orchestral elements, and a powerful chorus leading to an intense drop. The track features a kick that blends seamlessly with ambient sounds and introduces a unique lead melody for added complexity. It is a testament to Lost In Dream’s commitment to innovation and blending traditional elements with forward-thinking creativity.”
