When Dutch producer and songcrafter Saux jump starts his new single by singing “only you”, it feels like he’s reaching out to liquefy our very own hearts with his silky sleek voice. Then taut guitar curls and wavy synths join him on Lukewarm (Only You) to crush us into oblivion. There’s nothing lukewarm about this steamy smoldering groover, a funk-infused R&B pop and flushed electronica affair that fuses the glossy smoothness of Sailor and I with the swooning swagger of Ben Khan. Lukewarm (Only You) is a heck of a way for Saux to kick off 2018. The disco inspired late night single arrives ahead of a new EP Right, which touches on themes of contrast between existing in chaos and finding peace, as well as discovering minor flaws and major victories. Saux says: “Itʼs about what it feels like trying to play the right parts in life, relinquishing control, and then finding an ‘internalʼ world where you feel safe. In this case, together with someone.” You can find Saux’s music on Spotify, here.
