A potent meeting of minds that brings each of their vibrant, character-rich sounds to the forefront, “Truth or Dare (The Light Works Remix)” presents another strong track from this trio of collaborators.
“Truth or Dare (The Light Works Remix)” is a versatile new offering, with its poignant blend of electronic, dance, R&B, and alt-pop elements. Immersive keys and rich guitars drift atmospherically alongside Mama Yaya’s soulful vocals, underscored by an infectious drum-line that incorporates DnB aesthetics. Building dynamically, powerful bass, raw synth lines, and added cathartic layers of percussion give “Truth or Dare (The Light Works Remix)” an epic feeling, culminating in a massive chorus, and giving the track much replay value.
