It has been almost two years since the dawn of the Pocket project, and I’m on my ninth feature of the insanely talented artist. Few have managed to captivate my love for electronic music with each and every release, but Pocket is certainly on that list. The raw emotion felt when listening to his entire discography is truly spine-chilling, as one can feel the love and passion that the artist repeatedly pours into his art.
Despite being a bit more quiet on the release front this calendar year, Pocket still managed to snag a spot in our Top 50 Songs of 2022 with ‘Heartbreak Engineering,’ and returns today to 4XLA to close out this campaign with a beautiful dual single titled ‘Sapphire/My Love.’
Staying true to his unique style, Pocket shares just over six minutes of pure auditory bliss with his latest set of tracks. ‘Sapphire’ is upbeat and cheery, as the artist layers catchy vocals above a groovy melody and a rhythmic drum pattern. ‘My Love’ follows that same vibe, but boasts a bit more of a melancholic or nostalgic feel in its approach. This second cut plays more on emotions than the first, nicely balancing the tone of the dual single.
‘Sapphire/My Love’ touches on all the right chords, furthering my (and hopefully your) love for Pocket. Dive in below.
