Wacky Wednesday vibes commence!

“We live to celebrate / Roll the dice inside of my hand / To the voices inside of my head / Pass the people outside of our house.”
Queer, Australian-born, London-based producer and DJ HAAi (Teneil Throssell) dropped a surefire electronic banger with “Voices (We Live to Celebrate)”. “Voices,” the full-length extended version, is the eighth track from HAAi’s 2025 album, HUMANiSE.  The single version, parenthesized, runs two minutes shorter.  Throssell and Pat Alvarez penned “Voices.” Throssell, Alvarez, and Jon Hopkins produced it.

Right! “Voices (We Live to Celebrate)” features one verse, a pair of builds, and a pair of drops. There are plenty of repeated lyrics, unsurprising within the electronic genre.  Even with repetition, there are plenty of meaningful moments that complement the exceptional, colorful, and rhythmic backdrop.  “As we try to celebrate / Don’t lean into regrets,” the vocalist sings, and adds, “From the voices inside of my head / To the people outside of our house.” Word. More intriguing lyrics occur during the drop: “Between these talking walls / Lay the lessons that only I felt / Were written inside of my head and inside of my heart / Outside of our house.” All in all, “Voices (We Live to Celebrate)” is 100% worth celebrating.  It thrives on epic production, pleasant vocals, memorable lyrics, and tuneful melodies.  This is a surefire vibe!
