B-Front ft. Diandra Faye - Closer To The Edge [Roughstate]

[RidiQless]

It's not a bad track but I really don't see this as TOTY contender tbh.

The vocals sound like they were ripped from a Disney movie. They are so cheesy, and not the good kind.

I'm not feeling this one. B-Front and pop vocals just so do not fit together imo. That Outter Space tune from the Decibel compilation is on an whole another level

[Vicious]

B-Front had been making the same song for 10 years and it still doesn't get old

Just heard this on Unleashed podcast. Like others here the vocal section isn't for me at all. It seems to come straight from modern cheesy uplifting trance, thought it's interesting to try it out in hardstyle anyway and I'm glad many enjoy it.

I did like the outro on first listen while working out though. I felt it sort of resembled the old Michael Pollen/Fusion intros/outros. Always happy to get that feeling again.

Edit: I just checked and I think you can only hear the part I'm talking about for about 20 seconds in the extended mix, from ~ 4:21-4:44
