Los Angeles-based phenom Pauline Herr returns to Lost In Dreams Records with her second single, “Fault Line.” This track, a collaboration with the multi-talented Marlhy, merges elements of trance, melodic bass, and techno for a strikingly powerful result.
Known for her versatility as a producer, singer, and songwriter, Pauline Herr has become a driving force in the melodic dance music scene. For her latest release with Lost In Dreams, she has enlisted the vocal prowess of Marlhy, a skilled multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter also hailing from LA. “Fault Line” is a monumental track, featuring Marlhy‘s smooth vocals that explore the emotional turmoil of a deteriorating relationship. The track’s melancholic chords build into a vibrant color bass crescendo with melodic techno riffs, vocoded synths, and shimmering chimes, ultimately leading to an epic trance finale.
Discussing the inspiration behind “Fault Line,” Pauline Herr shares: “‘Fault Line’ is incredibly special to me because it marks my first collaboration with a female vocalist, and I’ve long admired Marlhy‘s work. Initially, I didn’t plan to include full vocals on this track, but Marlhy‘s voice brought it to life. This song embodies the pain and anger that come with the end of a relationship.”
Pauline Herr is a leading figure in the melodic dance genre, making her mark across trap, future bass, techno, trance, and more.
