DJ / Curator notes
WHY IT FITS.
Rheyn brings a familiar melody into a slower electronic setting. Try it between Canadian pop and a downtempo electronic selection where listeners have time to recognize the song.
Behind the song
THE FEELING BEHIND IT.
Rheyn takes on the melody that made Alannah Myles’ “Black Velvet” familiar to a generation of listeners. Written by Christopher Ward and David Tyson, the song evokes Elvis and the American South. Rick leaves space around Rheyn’s vocal and lets the electronic pulse do the work underneath.
