Wavewulf drops new single

Now operating under the alias Wavewulf, artist and producer Nicholas Long has spent decades cultivating a unique synth-driven sound that merges the nostalgia of 80s electronic music with modern themes and emotions. Based in New York City, Wavewulf’s passion for synthesisers was sparked at the age of 13 after attending a Depeche Mode concert, a pivotal moment that set him on a lifelong musical journey.

This early inspiration and creative spark led him to experiment with MIDI and sequencers throughout his teens and early adult years, crafting a sound that’s at once a nod to the past and a bridge to the future. Wavewulf’s musical evolution took a turn following the tragic loss of both his parents to cancer in 2017. This profound personal experience led him to invest deeply in analogue synths and recording equipment, resulting in the release of his debut album Oscillation in 2019.

Since then, he’s been creatively prolific, producing four more full-length records, each one a distillation of his growing mastery of synths and his ability to channel deep emotional currents through his music. His upcoming album, Unbreakable Soul, set to release this autumn, will explore themes of resilience, individuality and the nature of the human spirit.

Steadily rolling out tastes of the record, this year he’s shared the lead singles “Unbreakable Soul” and “Echo In The Dark.” Now he brings us his latest release with the new single titled “In Every Blue,” the third single from his upcoming album.

“In Every Blue” is a vibrant, synth-driven pop track that revolves around themes of friendship, crafted with a blend of analogue synths and drum machines, the track creates a lush, immersive soundscape that’s both expansive and intimate. The delicate layers of the synths and rustle of drum shots gives the song a timeless quality, evoking the golden era of electronic music while also feeling fresh and relevant in today’s musical landscape with the beautiful vocals of Nala Spark, whose ethereal voice adds a poignant, human touch to the electronic backdrop.

Flowing from the dreamy, plucked tones of synths backed by the gentle groove of the beat, Nala’s elegant voice, wrapped in soft reverb, stretch out smooth melodies above the swell of the arrangement. Developing into a subtly energising synth pop outing capped by blissful vocal melodies and the shifting tones of the synths, “In Every Blue” sees Wavewulf continue to create meaningful and engaging electronic pop while building the excitement for his forthcoming new record.
