Meduza – Upside Down ft. Poppy Baskcomb [Aeterna]
Aeterna Records are wasting no time in continuing the incredible momentum behind the label, releasing the long awaited ID record from Meduza and Poppy Baskcomb, ‘Upside Down’.
Written during the lockdown of 2020 and 2021, Upside Down is the haunting musical interpretation inspired by the incredibly successful Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’. The atmospheric, melodic beat mimics the darkness of the film, whilst the menacing, siren-like synth horns provide just the right amount of intensity to disturb any sense of solace. Poppy Baskcomb’s mesmerising vocal is a real highlight, in harmonically taking the listener down the proverbial rabbit hole, sounding innocent and playful at face value, but truly encapsulating a siren taking you to imminent jeopardy through song, solidifying why she is amongst the most in demand vocalist and writers in dance music.
In the words of Meduza: “This record has really been a massive moment in our live set. We loved the program on Netflix so wanted to translate all that we watched into music. Poppy was honestly great at following the vision and nailed the vocal. We feel like this is one of the tracks that really displays what Meduza is all about, in creating music that people can connect with”.
