Premiered during their \"Miami Open Skies\" livestream, GRAMMY-nominated electronic music DJ duo Cosmic Gate’s first 2021 single arrived on streaming platforms and stores. Given lyrical & vocal smolder by singer/songwriter Diana Miro, it finds Nic & Bossi bringing music with a more introspective edge. Marked out with dramatically drawn strings, pulsing percs, twisted synths, and sub-bass-boom, over seven mood-brooding minutes, the track moves emotively from simmer to sear.
On the striking lyrics that lie at the heart of ‘Blame’s story, Diana Miro said: “I wrote this song when one of my friends was struggling with plans – again - not coming to life. It's a sad situation, but I always ask myself: do we really need what we want, as nowadays others influence most of our desires. We endlessly spin in this social media \"mill\" and it's so hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. At least music always stays true to us. I'm so happy this song has landed with Cosmic Gate. They've produced an amazing deep sound that truly reflects the mood of our times. I can't wait to share it with the world!”
‘Blame’ wasn’t the only unboxing Nic & Bossi did during the \"Miami’s Open Skies\" live stream, with an end-of-set reveal that a new Cosmic Gate album was in the advanced stages of production. With ‘Blame’ as its lead single and an eye on an early summer release, ‘MOSAIIK’ – their eleventh long-player – will bring even more ‘forward ever backward never’ to our Cosmic cosmos.
