Australian songwriter and producer Oliver Dela Cruz, better known as Le Cruize and one half of acclaimed duo Midnight Pool Party, is continuing to carve out his own musical identity with his second solo single, “DIVINE.” Following his debut solo release “SWEET DAY,” the new track leans into disco’s playful side, turning instant attraction and undeniable chemistry into a feel-good dancefloor anthem.
“DIVINE” is built around the rush of noticing someone who immediately takes over your attention. Rather than overcomplicating the sentiment, Le Cruize keeps the songwriting direct and playful, using a series of irresistible compliments to build toward the track’s central declaration: “You’re divine.”
The verses move through the details that make someone impossible to ignore — their face, smile, spirit, soul and overall vibe — before repeatedly returning to the hook. That simplicity is part of the song’s charm, giving “DIVINE” the kind of instantly memorable quality that fits naturally within disco’s long tradition of turning romance, flirtation and attraction into something made for the dancefloor.
Glittering synths and a confident groove provide the foundation, while the infectious vocal keeps the track moving with a sense of carefree energy. There is a distinctly late-night quality to the production, conjuring the familiar scene of flashing lights, crowded dancefloors and that one person who keeps pulling your attention back across the room.
The release also offers another glimpse into the creative world Le Cruize is developing outside of Midnight Pool Party. While his work with the duo has established Oliver Dela Cruz as a songwriter and producer, his solo project gives him room to explore a more personal and playful production style.
After introducing that direction with “SWEET DAY,” “DIVINE” pushes the concept further, combining his songwriting instincts with a disco-inspired sound designed around movement, repetition and instant connection.
With its infectious groove and uncomplicated celebration of attraction, “DIVINE” finds Le Cruize embracing the lighter side of electronic music — the kind of record that does not need to overthink the moment. Sometimes, someone walks into the room, catches your eye, and there is only one thing left to say.
