Kygo defines the ‘Thrill Of The Chase’ with shock supply of junior album [Stream] – Dancing Astronaut

When Kygo stated “Gone Are The Days” could be “a brand new chapter of music,” there was by no means a deeper clarification on what that precisely meant. Effectively, now we all know. Everybody scanning streaming platforms for brand new releases at midnight had been doubtless blindsided by not solely seeing Kygo‘s title however {that a} new album was hooked up. And a few may’ve had a hunch earlier within the day when Kygo said he was “lastly accomplished” with one thing and {that a} “shock” could be in retailer when the clock struck November 11. Greater than two years following Golden Hour, Kygo’s “new chapter” has formally been instated with the arrival his out-of-the-blue junior album, Thrill Of The Chase.

Thrill Of The Chase sits at 14 tracks lengthy, with eight of these relationship again to “Gone Are The Days” from April 2021 and 6 of these being a configuration of each coveted IDs and never-before-heard music. Little did we all know that the James Gillespie-backed single would quietly open a 12 months and a half path in direction of the place we stand on launch day. And that chapter-launching authentic now doubles as Thrill Of The Chase‘s faultless prologue, which provides a world of readability to it being what Kygo used to get the LP ball rolling. The opposite seven already digested tracks that be a part of it are “Love Me Now” with Zoe Wees, “Simple” with X Ambassadors, “Dancing Toes” with DNCE, “Woke Up In Love” with Gryffin and Calum Scott, his pair of Dean Lewis-featured singles—”By no means Actually Cherished Me” and “Misplaced With out You“—and in the end “Freeze,” Kygo’s eight-minute, cinematic opus from Might. And “Freeze” falls equally consistent with “Gone Are The Days” in that its eventual function was to translate into the album’s triumphant climax.

Whereas simply past half of Thrill Of The Chase contains of music we’d already come to know and love this previous 12 months, the latter portion nonetheless has six Kygo creations left to discover. And plenty of Kygo devotees will acknowledge three of the album’s latest titles, with these being cuts he’s been subtly scattering throughout his units these previous few months. Hindsight is—as all the time—20/20, however Kygo had shared two separate posts on Instagram—one coming only a few days earlier than the album’s starling supply—the place he litmus examined followers’ emotions round a handful of tracks that had been nearing in direction of a beforehand undisclosed due date. The primary of Thrill Of The Chase‘s contemporary district is “Lonely Collectively”—a buoyant tropical home infusion alongside Dagny—which leads into the album’s eponymous quantity—a more-than-fitting, uptempo duet—earlier than touchdown on “Fever” beside Lukas Graham, a sultry dance-pop hybrid that was one among two album tracks debuted reside throughout Kygo’s historic night at Madison Sq. Backyard a month earlier. Then comes “How Many Tears alongside Sam Feldt—who opened Kygo’s forenamed night time within the coronary heart of New York Metropolis—and Emily Warren, a fluent tropical merger between the trio that could be the tracklist’s most high-profile collaborative complement. And Thrill Of The Chase‘s terminal two members—nevertheless—are debatably two of Kygo’s most-awaited solo releases in current reminiscence. With a riveting vocal from Plesed, “The Method We Have been” is what many would fantasize the picture-perfect Kygo manufacturing to end in, seamlessly interlacing his previous and current sounds all the best way from his remix period to Cloud 9 to Youngsters In Love to Golden Hour. And final however not least is “All For Love” with Stuart Chrichton—additionally debuted on the World’s Most Well-known Enviornment—which is sort of an oblique “Freeze” sister quantity as Kygo expands his sonic horizons even additional to enterprise into melodic techno by means of a hauntingly stunning, five-minute precursor to the album’s even bigger finale.

Though processing the sheer existence of Thrill Of The Chase will nonetheless require just a little extra time for a lot of, a collective consensus can already be reached that Kygo remains to be as sharp of an artist as he’s ever been. The tracklist’s meticulous group from “Gone Are The Days” all the best way all the way down to “Freeze” supplies a slick listening expertise as Kygo not solely fine-tunes his staple tropical finesse but in addition experiments far past that to strengthen his creative longevity. Soak in the truth that we simply obtained a full-length Kygo album and stream it beneath.
