The lush, pulsing, hazy melody of Khazali’s “Dance on the Rain” immediately takes you back to the early days of chillwave when that music was new and felt fresh and like something borrowed from a dream. But Khazali’s song has obviously learned from production methods and aesthetics that have come along since while embracing the sounds of analog synth in the mix as bright touches of a handful of notes cut through that haze and along with the staccato guitar work provide a framework within which the singer’s ghostly yet soulful vocals can drift along in an easy manner depicted in the evocative music video. It all sounds chill and introspective and it is but Khazali’s words in spare stanzas paint us the portrait of the end of the cycle of a break-up in unmistakable terms and where regret and pain has turned to acceptance but not without a touch of sadness.
