DIlemma - Becoming Alive
DIlemma’s "Becoming Alive" pulses with dark energy, a hypnotic fusion of synthpop, industrial pop, and post-punk that leads into a neon-drenched, gothic dreamscape.
Alex Elias masterfully crafts a soundscape of gritty, mechanical beats contrasted with ethereal, almost saccharine vocals, a ghostly, intoxicating combination.
The track’s narrative, of a lifeless club resurrected by one enigmatic Goth girl, mirrors the song’s progression, building from haunting synths to a throbbing, danceable beat. The tension between melancholy and euphoria is evident, with shimmering electronics weaving through shadowy basslines. The chorus is emotive, its melody both haunting and infectious, sending a vibe of revival and transformation.
The production is sleek yet raw, embracing industrial textures while maintaining an irresistible pop sensibility. You can see some Depeche Mode, The Birthday Massacre in "Becoming Alive". Elias conjures an atmosphere, a cyberpunk fever state where the underground comes to life under flickering strobes.
"Becoming Alive" is a cinematic experience in sound, club track in attitude, proving that darkness and dancefloor energy can be tohether in thrilling harmony.
