Derek Joel just released his new single “Citadel” and it comes with a great rush that hits fast but still sounds clean. The track has that big and polished shine you want from a strong new single, but the small details are what make it work. His voice is smooth and sits right in the center while the beat keeps moving around him. There is a moody edge under the energy too, which gives the song more color than a simple club-ready track. The melodies are easy to remember, the production sounds sharp and every layer adds something. This track is one of the best releases I’ve heard in the last few months.
