Emma Hewitt x Pretty Pink – Lay Me Down

If you don’t recognise ‘Lay Me Down’ from ‘Ghost of The Light’, that is because the track actually whispered its way to life as ‘The River’ – an introspective and nostalgia-drenched ode to a former love from a different life, perfectly preserved in memory.

When Emma began work with German DJ-producer Pretty Pink (Anne Karolczak) on the release, neither realised quite how far they’d go in revolutionising it. To turn it into a set-weapon, Pretty Pink has shifted the song’s focus exclusively to its “lay me down” hook and heartstring-tugging “I can’t hear you now” refrain. To that she applied an equally infectious backing of cyber FX, technotic rhythms, rippling sub-riffs and 303-strafted mainline.

By the time all was said and done, the track’s transformation had essentially made it a new song entirely. Emma & Pretty Pink’s chrysalis-like journey from ‘The River’ to ‘Lay Me Down’ is available to stream and in stores today [https://blackhole.lnk.to/laymedown].
