Stream: “Ease Your Mind” – Darius
There’s nothing quite like the endorphin rush of intimacy; that euphoria of two souls becoming one for a brief, but special moment of shared connection. Parisian producer Darius channels the ecstasy of young love into a sweet, seductive sound in “Ease Your Mind” ft. Devin Tracy, a feverish blend of funk, disco, and pop magic.
You’ve got something that’s turnin’ me on
We know that feeling it is mutual (mutual)
If you wanna get to know me
Touchin’ all over my body
Staring and you won’t stop teasing
The energy’s going crazy
You get me so excited
Don’t even try to fight it
Just let me ease your mind
It turns out the classic disco sound is alive and well, provided you know where to look for it. Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering the radiant music video for “Ease Your Mind,” one of the standout songs taken off Darius’ recently-released third album OASIS (April 22, 2022 via Roche Musique). Featuring New York-based artist Devin Tracy on vocals, “Ease Your Mind” is a slick, strikingly stunning throwback to the cinematic dance pop of the late ’70s and early ’80s, with an irresistible breakbeat that calls to mind Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Chic’s “Le Freak.”
I see you want me, just introduce yourself
You’ve got a hold on me something you do so well
If you wanna get to know me
Touchin’ all over my body
Staring and you won’t stop teasing
The energy’s going crazy
You get me so excited
Don’t even try to fight it
Just let me ease your mind
For Darius, finding that classic “retro” sound and then giving it his own modern touch was something of a dream realized.
“This track is like the continuation of ‘Equilibrium,’ where I looked for the danceable side, with retro and funky sounds, accompanied by a more pop voice,” the French producer tells Atwood Magazine. “There was a long phase of research and many versions of demos to arrive at this final groove. For me it’s the sound that encompasses all my biggest inspirations since my childhood.”
“And I was very lucky because I had to release it as an instrumental, and finally, the singer Devin Tracy came to me on Instagram. We talked, I sent him two demos and the next day he sent me back the song with his voice. When I listened to it, I cried with emotion. I was a little emotional and had been working all night. But it was literally perfect, I had nothing left to do, it was totally what I expected. It was a total fluke, but Devin came along just in time. Especially since the title Ease Your Mind has a very symbolic aspect. It feels really good to finally be at peace after finding the right person.”
A true blast from the past, the aptly-titled “Ease Your Mind” is a smoldering, heated display of pure passion at work. Watch Darius’ new music video exclusively on Atwood Magazine, and for a fully captivating experience, listen to his full OASIS album, out now!
