\u00ab Serenity \u00bb the 4th single taken from the 6th album was released on Friday, July 5th 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It contains the following tracks :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

01. SERENITY 3:42
02. HEART CHASE 4:27
03. SERENITY dance mix 3:42
04. SEE THE SIGNS long mix 5:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Serenity \u00bb is a track like no other in The Edit King’s catalog. Where I usually tend to do electronic dance music, this track has no electronic sound and is clearly not dance music. It’s unique even in the 6th album \u00ab Retroactive Fire \u00bb’s context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time I was challenged by one of my best mates to do an entire album with no electronic sound whatsoever. And I tried to take this challenge as seriously as possible. It ended up making a 6th album clearly different from all of its predecessors. And this track could be his flagship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it’s not even and up-tempo track, I decided that the B-side (the 2nd track of the single) on the other hand \u00ab Heart Chase\u00bb would be much more electronic and experimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to counterbalance the more classical approach of \u00ab Serenity \u00bb, I wanted all the hardcore dance music fans to have something really dance to sink their teeth into, so I made at the last minute a dance mix to \u00ab Serenity \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this dance mix really delivers. I only kept one or two sounds from the original track and filled the rest with electronic sounds all around. Even keeping sometimes the exact same melodies but changing the sounds to more electronic ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m very pleased with this dance mix. So much in fact that I immediately decided to make an extended version of this dance mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But \u00ab Serenity \u00bb due to its almost classical music approach was a very difficult track to remix. I even did what I usually don’t do : is ask one of my friends to remix it for me (like I did for the previous single \u00ab A Unique Love \u00bb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But \u00ab Serenity \u00bb was so difficult to remix properly that I must admit that I ended not liking all the remixes made. I feel that, except maybe for the extended dance mix and another extended, we all failed this song’s remixes in a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not very found of all these remixes even though, in the end, \u00ab Serenity \u00bb is maybe the track of The Edit King that has the most important number of different remixes of all the singles I’ve made so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Track 4 of this single is a long version of the album track \u00ab See The Signs \u00bb : this song was a real contender for single release before \u00ab Serenity \u00bb was finally chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Track 4 is in fact the original version of \u00ab See The Signs \u00bb that was supposed to be on the album originally. But often when I listen to the 6th album as a whole, I always thought to myself \u00ab this track is too long, it should be shorter \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I shortened it a bit and that short mix became the final album version of \u00ab See The Signs \u00bb and I kept this \u00ab long \u00bb version in the vaults up until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single 31 A Serenity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Serenity \u00bb : le 4\u00e8me single extrait du 6\u00e8me album est sorti le Vendredi 5 Juillet 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Il contient les titres suivants :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

01. SERENITY 3:42
02. HEART CHASE 4:27
03. SERENITY dance mix 3:42
04. SEE THE SIGNS long mix 5:15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Serenity \u00bb est un morceau qui ne ressemble \u00e0 aucun autre dans le catalogue de The Edit King’s. Alors que j’ai plut\u00f4t tendance \u00e0 faire de la musique dance avec des sons \u00e9lectroniques, ce titre n’est pas dance du tout et be comporte aucun son \u00e9lectronique. Il est \u00e0 part m\u00eame unique au sein de mon 6\u00e8me album \u00ab\u00a0Retroactive Fire \u00bb. Aucun autre titre ne lui ressemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au moment d’\u00e9crire ce 6\u00e8me album au milieu de l’ann\u00e9e 2020, un de mes meilleurs amis m’avait mis au d\u00e9fi de faire un album avec z\u00e9ro son \u00e9lectronique, disant que j’en serais bien incapable. Et m\u00eame si j’ai pris ce d\u00e9fi tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux, il y avait quand m\u00eame quelques sons \u00e9lectroniques ici et l\u00e0 dans cet album, mais il avait r\u00e9solument malgr\u00e9 tout un son tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent de mes autres albums et ce titre en particulier en est la preuve vivante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00eame si ce titre est plut\u00f4t lent il fait parti de mes pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s car justement il est tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent de ce que je fais d’habitude. Aussi le fait de le sortir en single \u00e9tait malgr\u00e9 tout pour moi une \u00e9vidence, mais comme c’est un titre plut\u00f4t lent compar\u00e9 aux autres, j’ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que la face B (le 2\u00e8me titre de ce single) serait lui, en comparaison, beaucoup plus rapide. Ce qui a donn\u00e9 le morceau \u00ab\u00a0Heart Chase\u00bb qui est, lui, beaucoup plus \u00e9lectronique et exp\u00e9rimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais pour contrebalancer l’approche musique classique de \u00ab\u00a0Serenity \u00bb, je souhaitais quand m\u00eame que les fans de ma musique \u00e9lectronique et rapide aient aussi quelque chose dans cette veine \u00e0 se mettre sous la dent, aussi j’ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute de faire un remix dance de \u00ab\u00a0Serenity \u00bb et de l’inclure en 3\u00e8me titre de ce single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Et personnellement je trouve que ce remix dance, lui, il d\u00e9pote un max, ah ah. Je n’ai conserv\u00e9 qu’un son ou deux de la version originale mais tout le reste de la production de ce remix est clairement tr\u00e8s \u00e9lectronique. Parfois j’ai m\u00eame gard\u00e9 la m\u00eame m\u00e9lodie mais juste troqu\u00e9 le son original pour un son \u00e9lectronique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je me suis beaucoup amus\u00e9 \u00e0 faire de remix et je suis tr\u00e8s satisfait du r\u00e9sultat. Tellement en fait que j’ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 m\u00eame par la suite d’en faire une version longue qui para\u00eetre tr\u00e8s bient\u00f4t (dans une quinzaine de jours si tout se passe comme pr\u00e9vu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais \u00ab\u00a0Serenity \u00bb a une approche tellement musique classique que c’est un des titres qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 le plus difficile \u00e0 remixer. Moi-m\u00eame j’avais fait 3 remixes versions longues diff\u00e9rents et aucun ne me satisfaisait, \u00e0 tel point que j’ai demand\u00e9 \u00e9galement \u00e0 un de mes amis de remixer \u00e9galement ce morceau pour moi (tout comme je l’avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait pour le single pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent \u00ab\u00a0A Unique Love \u00bb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au bout du compte il y a tr\u00e8s peu de remixes de ce titre dont je suis satisfait m\u00eame si c’est sans doute un de mes titres qui a le plus de remixes versions longues qui existent paradoxalement de tous mes singles que j’ai sorti jusqu’ici.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enfin, le titre 4 de ce single est une version un peu plus longue du titre d’album \u00ab\u00a0See The Signs \u00bb : ce morceau a vraiment failli \u00eatre un single lui-m\u00eame, si je n’avais pas opt\u00e9 pour \u00ab\u00a0Serenity \u00bb \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute finalement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le titre 4 est en fait la version originale de\u00ab\u00a0See The Signs \u00bb qui \u00e9tait cens\u00e9e figurer sur l’album. Mais \u00e0 chaque fois que j’\u00e9coutais l’album je trouvais ce morceau trop long. Aussi je l’ai un peu raccourci pour l’album et cette version plus longue est finalement rest\u00e9e dans mes tiroirs, jusqu’\u00e0 la sortie de ce single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
