REVIEW: Alle Farben x Moss Kena - Forgot How To Love on Warner Germany

 


We live in intense times - and we should be careful not to forget what really counts in life: "Maybe we forgot how to love," Alle Farben and UK artist and songwriter Moss Kena state in their collaboration - and deliver a powerful reminder to redirect our focus. After his last single "Let It Rain Down (feat. PollyAnna)" (#4 on the German airplay chart, #17 on the German Shazam 200 and almost 9M streams so far), the Berlin-based DJ and producer Alle Farben once again proves that he has his finger on the pulse of time - musically as well as thematically. His new song can be read as a commentary on our current world situation, but also works perfectly on the dancefloor if you just want to be carried away by the uplifting track.


"Telling white lies / In the dark times / It's harder to tell the truth" - right from the first lines of the song, Alle Farben and Moss Kena deliver a sharp critique of our time. What is our part in it? Are higher powers to blame or have we perhaps failed to do more? - "Did we run out of luck? / Did we run out of time? / Somewhere in the million ways we tried / And we gave it our best / Thought it was enough / Till it's not," Kena’s voice soars above Alle Farben's uplifting, string- and synth-laden production. With its overall upbeat mood, it provides us with a sense of hope by telling us: despite these dark times: it's not too late, yet. We just have to learn again how to love more.

[item value="10"]Alle Farben x Moss Kena - Forgot How To Love [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Alle Farben releases have been so far very strong and really memorable tracks. His latest pop dance anthem with Moss Kena on vocals is called Forgot How To Love and is destined to become one of his biggest tracks so far. Truly beautiful lyrics and vocal performance by Moss supported with great deep melodic house foundation with certain tropical summery touches. Classy eclectic production that will put a smile in your face or make you burst in tears as it happened in my case. As always really clever music video supports this super powerful track with a message that should be shouted out loud. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
