DILAN SKIES’ latest single, “Leave It All Behind,” Approach You Like the Tide, Crash into You, is an experience of a soulful blend of R&B and pop. With its lush soundscapes, evocative lyrics, and Skies’ impossibly smooth vocals, “Leave It All Behind” cements him as a potential star on the rise, with a sound that is both timeless and fresh.
“Leave It All Behind” establishes a contemplative, almost trance-like tone. The production is meticulous, draping atmospheric synths and airy textures to create a dreamlike sensation, capturing the tune’s reflection and personal growth themes. It’s a track that strikes you in an intimate, cinematic way and is ideal for nighttime road trips or solitary moments of contemplation.
But what makes DILAN SKIES stand out is his voice. His delivery is raw and controlled, evenly mining modern phrasing and early 2000s R&B textures. His falsetto floats in and out, adding an unquestionable warmth that makes the imagery of every lyric feel intimate. The chorus swells with feeling and provides an arresting counterpoint to the naked verses, giving the “Leave It All Behind” message an even more significant impact.
“Leave It All Behind” isn’t just a peek into Skies’ forthcoming debut album. It’s a declaration of artistry, emotion, and evolution. If this single is any reflection, DILAN SKIES is not only making music but creating moments that stand long after the last note has sounded.
