Barron Shares Captivating New Single “Escape”
Rising Nashville-based producer Barron wasn’t involved in music during his younger years, but has an impressive trajectory. Although he has an appreciation for most styles, he specifically felt a calling towards the electronic/dance genre, and spent years learning the complexities of it while shadowing other producers before releasing his own work.
As a lover of dance music he enjoyed introducing friends to the genre with more contemporary artists such as Odesza, Rüfüs Du Sol, Shallou, and several others. He spent a great deal of time studying these talented creators while crafting his own sound in order to capture the hearts and ears of people who don’t necessarily listen to the genre. From his lush soundscapes, to tranquil melodies, to ambient percussive elements there is much to appreciate from this up and coming electronic artist for both lovers and non-lovers of the genre alike.
After the successful release of his debut track, “Where Do We Go”, Barron is back with a new single entitled “Escape” that is a feel-good, Summertime anthem. Once again influenced by his predecessors like Porter Robinson and Odesza he taps into a mellow electronic space that has many influences and musical elements.
“‘Escape’ is a song I wrote with the intention of being a feel good track. When I listen to it I picture people playing it while riding down a backroad or a coastal highway with the windows down. It just has a “get outside and go do something in the sun” type of vibe. The guitar element is probably one of my favorite elements of the song and I plan to incorporate it a lot more into my future tracks.” – Barron

Feelgood Frequencies: Why CR Srikanth’s “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” Is The Sonic Hug You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’ve been looking for a track that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug wrapped in shimmering synths, CR Srikanth’s new single “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” might be exactly what you need. It offers a beautiful balance of emotional depth and danceable energy, pulling you out of your head and into a place where you can just breathe, feel, and move. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this track delivers a sense of calm and release.
Srikanth, a US-based Indian composer and sonic storyteller, has carved out a unique musical space with his self-created genre, VS Pop™ (Very Smooth Pop). Drawing from vintage 1980s synthpop, ambient soundscapes, and cinematic orchestral touches, he’s crafted a style that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. “Dancing in the Dark” continues that evolution. It is at once intimate and expansive, polished yet deeply human.
The track features vocals from Junior Paez, whose delivery adds emotional texture to the lyrics. There’s a quiet honesty in lines like “Don’t you think you’re losing your mind again?” and “Hold on, I’ll take you a little higher tonight.” These words speak to the chaos we often feel inside, but instead of staying stuck there, the song encourages movement, connection, and hope. It is music that acknowledges the darkness but chooses to dance through it anyway.
The production is rich with shimmering arpeggiators, retro synth bass, and crisp electronic drums. It brings together nostalgia and futurism in a way that feels effortless. Imagine flickering neon lights, soft motion blur, and the kind of energy that makes you want to close your eyes and sway. It is cinematic but never overwhelming. Every layer serves the emotion at the heart of the track.
What makes “Dancing in the Dark” so appealing is how well it adapts to your mood. Whether you’re heading out for a solo night drive, setting the vibe for a weekend gathering, or simply lying on your bed in need of a reset, this song fits the moment. It never pushes too hard, but it always lands exactly where it needs to. There is something comforting about how sure of itself it feels.
CR Srikanth is not just making music for the sake of it. He is building emotional landscapes for listeners to get lost in and to find themselves again. With “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™,” he offers more than just a catchy tune. He gives us space to reflect, to feel seen, and to find joy in the act of simply moving forward. So press play, turn it up, and let yourself be lifted. This one’s for the heart, the soul, and the feet.
