Illenium and Said The Sky released When The Light Breaks on August 7, EDM.com reported, a collaboration between two producers who have spent years building parallel careers in electronic music, each known for translating love and heartbreak into their own distinct sound.
The track features vocalist Heather Sommer, whose lyrics dwell on the quiet loneliness of performing wellness in public: the small daily contract of saying "I'm fine" while privately trying to stay afloat, EDM.com said. The song moves from melodic bass into trance before a weightless dubstep sequence closes it out, built around three distinct drops threaded through one continuous emotional arc.
EDM.com credited that kind of evocative songwriting, staying afloat rather than actually swimming, with helping the New York-based Sommer build acclaim in the dance music space.
The single is out now via the label Seeking Blue, on streaming platforms.
The release adds to a steady run of collaborative singles across dance music this year, and MusicSuey follows more electronic news on the genre's page.
