Felix Jaehn, Still Fall | Song Review

German producer Felix Jaehn delivers another, epic dance bop with “Still Fall,” featuring vocals by Joe Housley.

“As I lay here beside you / I still fall for you.” Aww! Felix Jaehn is the man when it comes to DJing, production, and remixing.  The German musician has a knack for delivering epic dance music.  Once more, he brings the heat on his single, “Still Fall”.  He produces the three-and-a-half minute bop alongside JUNKX – what a formidable team! The result is picturesque production.  The production encompasses a dynamic, anchoring beat, shimmering keys, ear-catching synths, and, fittingly, an epic drop.  You can’t have a killer dance song without a killer drop, right? Right!

As key as the instrumental is in “Still Fall,” the songwriting and vocals play a sizeable role too. Joe Housley is the perfect vocalist for this song, period.  His instrument sounds authentic, potent, and incredibly warm. Furthermore, his upper register and falsetto is ripe to the nth degree. He truly brings the love-driven lyrics to life – falling for this nameless person.  The verses illustrate his feelings.  In the first, “I feel I’m getting close to paradise / I can touch the colors in the skies,” he asserts.  In the second, he states, “Your love is like an ocean next to me.” Ooh-wee! Another section in which Housley excels is the build-up where he “Fall for you / Fall for you / Fall for you / Fall for you.” All told, Felix Jaehn ‘does the damn thing,’ again, on “Still Fall”.
