Seven Lions has been dropping massive hits lately, and “First Time” is the next in a line of mind-blowing tracks from the versatile artist. The song is a collaboration by artists Seven Lions, SLANDER, and Dabin, with singer/songwriter Dylan Matthew on the vocals.
“First Time” leads with an ethereal melody that teases the vibe of the track. At thirty seconds in, Dylan Matthew comes in with his breathtaking vocal performance. Without relying too heavily on the drums, his vocals shine in the beginning, and they continue to carry that powerful energy through the remainder of the track.
The lyrical content of the song describes the feeling of being in love for the first time. The message is poignant, with themes of confusion and wonderment.
By the time you hit the first drop, you’ll feel in love, too. The drop has everything good about the three producing artists all blended into one, creating a wholly transcendent experience.
This track has more up its sleeve – the buildup to the second drop is somehow even better than the first, with a powerful layering of synths to create a masterpiece of sound.
“First Time” could easily be the best electronic collaboration of 2018. This song is sheer beauty, and perfectly showcases the talents of four incredible artists. Don’t sleep on any of the collaborators for this gorgeous track.
