This kind of magic takes place when borders dissolve, and the music becomes a passport to somewhere new. That's precisely what TRINIX's newest single, "Vaitimbora," featuring Brazilian rising talent Mariana Froes, is.
The French electronic duo, who have a knack for bringing natural emotion to their slick production, have met their vocalist match in Mariana Froes (a.k.a. Mari). Her voice is the song's soul fluid, aching, full of the kind of feeling that can't be lost in the back-and-forth of translation. Sung in Portuguese, "Vaitimbora" is intimate and expansive, a sunrise spreading across two continents simultaneously.
TRINIX takes control with that instantly recognizable emotive touch, crisp synth lines, gentle drops, and a pacing beat that throbs like a slow, heavy heart. It's a track that breathes. It's not cluttering the aural environment so much as making room for Mari's vocals to act on, and they do. The way she delivers it is so graceful and straightforward that it carries on this sense of yearning and beauty after the songʼs all done.
What distinguishes "Vaitimbora" is its graceful balance. It's a dance track and a ballad, all at once. It's the multinational gloss of a ready hit, but it still has the soulful warmth of the last call. The electronic layers on TRINIX songs never overtake. They lift. The result is a song that sounds like a conversation whispered under starlight to a beat you could sway your hips to.
