Experimental Duo TRY x Empress Of Drop Hypnotic New Single & Music Video
Visionary producer duo TRY unveiled their latest single “With Me” and its accompanying music video, in collaboration with Honduran-American singer, songwriter, musician, Empress Of. A tone setting precursor to their forthcoming album, “With Me” arrives as a testament to TRY’s collaborative ethos, genre-defying sound and innovative production style, anchored by an unwavering penchant for connecting audiences to the dance floor.
“Through “With Me”, we explored memories together with Empress Of. Ghosts from our past
can be people and situations that remain living in our perception. Sometimes they’re hard to let go of, even when we want to.” – TRY
Fusing ethereal lyricism with an atmospheric soundscape, “With Me” delves into the unwinding labyrinth of memory, exploring the inescapable grip of the past through a dance narrative that is equal parts haunting and hypnotic. Through a deliberate blend of Empress Of’s intoxicating vocals, TRY’s enthralling instrumental implementation and lyrics that resonate long after the music has stopped, “With Me” sonically emulates longing at the intersection of release and resilience – blurring the lines between what was, what is, and what could have been. “With Me” is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
The track’s cinematic component brings the echoes of the past to life using dance as a conduit for emotional storytelling, where shadows take on a life of their own. Through the interplay of lighting, silhouettes, and scrims, the choreography reveals a protagonist unknowingly haunted by these ghosts. Traversing reverie and reality, the enthralling odyssey begins with an unsettling realization: her shadows are not a reflection of her higher self but rather separate entities reminding her that the past is nevertruly gone.
As she dances with these shadows, the choreography demonstrates a complex, visceral engagement with the remnants of what once was. Oscillating between moments of tender connection and intense repulsion, the music video for “With Me” captures the duality of human emotions and the cathartic unburdening of letting go.
