Roberto Bates, Fire Walk With Me | Track Review

E

lectronic pop producer, Roberto Bates is back, and he takes no hostages with his new intense release ‘Fire Walk With Me’, which features vocalist VIOLA.

This track brings the feel-good vibes with a summer quality, and it radiates through the airwaves from the moment it starts. It has a very nostalgic feel to it, with an 80s influence driving the way forward. However, that is not unusual given that Roberto has a fondness for the eighties sound. Furthermore, the styles that rose out of the new-wave era have influenced him many times throughout his career.

‘Fire Walk With Me’ also proves that Roberto is as fresh as ever to deliver the finest gems. Moreover, his new piece gives a new dimension to the electronic space with his warm sounds catapulting out of the lively mix. His clever addition of nail-biting tones also keeps the mix alive throughout, with a myriad of new sounds popping out left, right and centre. Additionally, the structure gives the track a natural stereo feel, and it sounds incredible on a 5.1 set up.

Likewise, VIOLA gives the mix a whole new lease of life with a performance that offers the big hitters a genuine run for their money in the EDM space. She is confident, and her passion is evident as she excels through her delivery. As a result, ‘Fire Walk With Me’ could be the big break that she needs to reach even greater heights in the game.

Five out of five – George James.
