Moon and Aries - Take Me Home
Just when you thought your playlist was doomed to top-40 purgatory, Moon and Aries swoop in with Take Me Home—an invitation to drop everything and reconnect with what’s real. Hot on the heels of last year’s mesmerizing Transcendence, this new single isn’t just a return to their roots, it’s what makes Moon and Aries tick. With the lush layers of trip-hop, deep house, jazz, neo-soul and that undeniable Moon and Aries magic, Take Me Home is the audio equivalent of sliding into a warm coat on the first chilly night of fall. The track feels like a cinematic escape hatch from the humdrum. Jordana Moon’s vocals pull you in with a spell-like mantra, singing, “I will never run away,” a line that sounds less like a vow and more like a cosmic anchor. Tom Aries, ever the synth sorcerer, spins a hypnotic backdrop—think neon-lit landscapes, midnight highways, and a hint of melancholy that makes this track soar. Doing away with the love song cliches Moon and Aries have crafted a love letter to finding your way back to something meaningful. Jordana’s lyrics are layered with longing and that raw, soul-deep yearning for connection. This track is less about heading “home” in a literal sense and more about finding that inner place of stillness we all crave. With lines like “We break the clock, turn off the flood,” Moon and Aries turn Take Me Home into a battle cry against the sempiternal rush of life—a chance to hit pause and breathe. If Take Me Home had a cinematic counterpart, it would slide right into Drive—its pulsing synths and introspective vibe adding that electric charge to a midnight drive through empty streets. Moon and Aries have crafted a track that doesn’t just demand a listen; it offers a momentary escape.
Sunrise in Jupiter - TAKE ME HOME
Sunrise in Jupiter goes the nostalgic route with their second single, TAKE ME HOME. It is a cinematic rock song that is exciting with a touch of bittersweet. With its dramatic singing and almost aggressive drums, it should feel like it's too much, but the track balances its sound perfectly. The start with the electric guitar immediately makes you feel sentimental. With a chord progression that is so satisfying, it had me excited as soon as the song began. The bass, played by George Cook, caught my attention on the second listen and is now my favourite part of the song. With the clever riffs that I did not expect, it kept my attention throughout. Sonny delivers a dramatic vocal performance. His voice is beautifully expressive, and he makes it look so easy. He is the perfect narrator. This would fit right into a coming-of-age story where the characters go on a night drive. travelling towards the adventure. I can see myself with the wind in my hair as the scenery changes around me. When the layered chanting in the bridge comes in, it feels like the perfect culmination to the song. I love bridges for exactly this reason. They always succeed in becoming the heart of the song, everything coming together just before it ends. Sunrise in Jupiter aims to make their debut double album, Mission to Mars, a cinematic journey. By creating immersive soundscapes, they want to build a world of their own. And I'm excited to experience what they've created.
