Yellow Sky arrives on the scene with the brilliant debut single “Planet Paradise,” an upbeat party song that’s perfect for your escape playlist. With KATHRIN’s young, soulful vocals leading the track, the single is an apt introduction to what is sure to be an exciting ride of danceable, joyous material.
Behind Yellow Sky is the seasoned German producer and multi-genre composer Fritz Heieck, who has combined his immense musical background from jazz to classical, pop to rock, to create the blueprint of an ambitious new musical concept based mainly on infectious positivity and groove. Through Yellow Sky, he is creating a world in which rhythm meets sunlight, and “Planet Paradise” is our first-ever postcard from that world.
From its opening prismatic synth to its ratcheting beat that propels it forward, “Planet Paradise” is pure uplift. KATHRIN’s vocals melt themselves over the track like soulful sparkle, conveying her emotional depth, with the soul-echoing sparkle that some of her fans might recognize from her two previous releases, “One Two Three Times A Fool and “Red Butterflies.” she also seems looser and brighter at home in Yellow Sky’s sunlit soundscape.
The song’s uptempo rhythms and melodic hooks are the sort that stick around for a while after you hear them. Its ebullient intentions are honest, a genuine feeling that this is not music just for the dance floor but for the soul. In a period in which good news seems rare, “Planet Paradise” is a three-minute tropical vacation.
