Balance by Lucky Sun

‘Balance' is the 2nd studio album from UK producer Lucky Sun (aka Tom Lown), featuring collaborations with notable vocalists Alison David (Red Snapper/The Black Science Orchestra/Bugz In The Attic) and Frank H Carter III (YSE/Ivy Lab/Llorca).

The album kicks off with the summery vibe of Deep Love. It grooves from the start, sounding like a cross between Lovebirds and Crazy P, and opens up into a deep house masterpiece with soulful and Balearic leanings. Alison David pours her positivity into the track with her unique fusion of spoken word and singing. Her lush vocals compliment the song’s gently drifting strings and catchy synth lines, creating the cosiest of ear-worms.

Title track Balance is a deep electronic affair with low slung, syncopated house beats, arpeggiated synths and lush chords which acts as a perfect segue into the following track Sunrise, featuring a soulful and stunning vocal performance by Frank H Carter III. This punchy deep house tune transmits enough positivity, warmth, and - yes - sunlight to melt through the coldest winter’s day.

Calling You In summons a deep and mysterious vibe, with broken, breaksy beats and soaring chords over which Alison David’s vocal performance and other-worldly harmonies take the track to an ethereal place.

Vocobolo Resano is a region in Italy where a beautiful outdoor pool sits. This track features field recordings (laughter and splashes from friends and family) in its lush breakdown. Fittingly enough, this cut employs slower house beats; 110bpm terrace groover perfect for poolside lounging.

Rain and Sunshine is the album’s 3rd track featuring Alison David, and already a staple on Ibiza, with a remix of the song appearing on Nassau Beach Club’s 2021 compilation. Alison delivers another memorable performance, locking in with the bass in the chorus to create a catchy, positive, uplifting feel.

Downtempo, lounge vibes feature on BKLN, with smooth percussive beats accompanying Rhodes chords, synths and lush subtle sound design. Return to Olive Street, named after Tom’s first address in Brooklyn, is a uniquely charming track, with minimal percussive beats accompanying thoughtful strings and synths. 

The album closes with the beautiful Sunset, a mid-tempo deep house chugger, featuring spine tingling muted trumpet licks by Porgie. This is surely one for beach bars the world over.

Balance is all about life - balancing the rough with the smooth, the yin and the yang… It’s a timeless listening album which can beautifully soundtrack any moment of daydreaming, be it on the dance-floor, on the road or in the living room.
