A Little Sound - A Lotta Noise EP

A Little Sound's 'A Lotta Noise' EP lands somewhere between late-night introspection and nightclub euphoria. The rising UK dance artist has crafted five tracks that showcase both her technical prowess and emotional depth.

Opening track 'Area Code', a collaboration with S.P.Y & CMDCTRL, sets an energetic tone with its summer-ready hooks and pulsing rhythm; the vocal refrain "Let my body know" floating above carefully structured beats. 'Override' keeps the energy high, bridging the gap to what might be the EP's strongest offering, 'Stars', where A Little Sound's partnership with Dutch producer Arcando really shines.

The latter half of the EP reveals more layers to A Little Sound's artistic palette. 'Afterlife' proves to be an unexpected earworm, while closing track 'Highs & Lows' is another standout, opening with enticingly dark undertones before building and breaking the tension. The track's emotional weight - captured in the vulnerable admission "I can handle the highs, I can handle the lows" - provides a fitting conclusion to an EP that's not afraid to explore the shadows between the strobelights.

Throughout 'A Lotta Noise', A Little Sound demonstrates her ability to craft polished dance music that respects genre traditions while pushing at their edges. There's enough fresh energy here to suggest she's finding her own space in the crowded dance landscape.
