Marzón – Come Back To You (Single Review)

Today’s review will centre around a talented EDM artist named Marzón. Born in Ecuador, he culminates his massive talent by being not only an artist but also the sole producer of his tracks. He previously released two tracks on most platforms, titled ‘Another Night’ and ‘Lose Control’.

He hopes to seek to relate with everyone through his music, appealing to people’s senses and seeking common ground with their feelings and moods. Part of his methodology involves the belief that if his music comes from him personally with his authentically lived self-experiences, he can connect with people with the same level of authenticity through originality and personal touch as well.

Adding to his repertoire is his newest single titled ‘Come Back To You’. It is described as a dance EDM track which he has extremely high hopes for. It is a melancholic yet energetic track that is about the passionate burning love you feel for a specific person in your life. It’s intended to be relatable but still deliver with its classic EDM punches and emotional arc.

The song starts off promising and positive, with tender and shiny synth nodes in position with the arrangement of the kicks. The melange of synths that follows through is extremely intense, but bears a huge positive motif- I want to categorise it akin to the sounds of uplifting trance, but unfortunately, it stays within the realm of generic EDM.

I understand the hypersaws and the ‘eruption’ associated with songs like this, but it really comes off as a homogenous electronica track.

There is not much motivic variation or depth within this song, besides the slight modulation in the hypersaw’s chords and the vocals of the vocalist. It reminds me of some of the stock songs created for the ‘electronica’ section of the radio on Sims 4. It’s not an offensively bad song, by any means, but I feel like I’ve been spoilt with the depths of electronic music to where this seems almost superficial and soulless, contrary to what it is marketed to sound like.

I think this song would do well with people who typically favour music from people like Alan Walker. It bears the same level of positivity within the scope of his songs. If you’re used to songs with more depth, I don’t think this would appeal to you.

I think the artist should focus on adding more sonic depth to his music and also amend the mastering a little bit more, as the synthesis was a little murkier, sacrificing clarity for volume. Either way, it’s a great start to a long career in electronic music ahead, and there’s always time for him to hone his craft.

SCORE/Good: ‘Come Back To You’ is a typical EDM song that you would hear out in the mainstream these days. It has a definite positive motif to it, but it needs a little bit more dimensionality and depth. If you’re a fan of Alan Walker or NCT, you’d definitely adore this track.
