Mouth Water serves up a dreamy Synth Pop single, "Smoke"
Italian producer Mouth Water has delivered an intoxicating slice of synth-pop bliss with Smoke, his latest single that just dropped on April 4th via Through The Void Records. Blending atmospheric textures, hypnotic melodies, and dreamy vocals, the track is a mesmerizing ride through nostalgia and introspection—like catching glimpses of a hazy sunset through rearview mirrors on a road trip you don’t want to end.
From the very first note, Smoke draws listeners into a lush, immersive soundscape. The production is exquisite—swirling synths glide effortlessly over crisp, mid-tempo drums, creating a balance between motion and stillness. There’s an undeniable ‘80s flair to the instrumentation, but rather than feeling like a throwback, it breathes modern elegance into retro aesthetics. Think the warmth of M83 mixed with the hypnotic coolness of Tame Impala’s more electronic moments.
Mouth Water’s vocals aren’t overpowering but are undeniably captivating—bright, silky smooth, and laced with a gentle melancholy. His use of delicate vocal effects and subtle backing harmonies adds depth, giving the track a weightless, floating sensation. The result is a vocal performance that is both intimate and distant, like a faded memory coming back to life in soft focus.
Smoke carries a distinctly summery feel, but not in an over-the-top, festival-anthem way. Instead, it’s the kind of song that plays in the background of golden hour moments, where the world slows down just enough for you to breathe it all in. There’s a melancholic undercurrent running through the track, but it never veers into sadness—rather, it feels like a moment of quiet reflection wrapped in warmth. There’s an air of psychedelia as well that serves as the perfect backdrop, adding a ton of depth and texture to.
Mouth Water’s ability to craft such a richly textured and emotionally resonant experience speaks to his prowess as a producer. Smoke isn’t just a song—it’s a feeling, a place, a fleeting moment in time that lingers long after the last note fades.
