Melancholia

Melancholia is the first single taken from ZenToy‘s second album Mad Love. It’s also the result of an evolution in the creative process. You can find similar sounds to those used on Best Kept Secret, but the way the track was composed has totally changed. Concretely, instead of systematically using binary rhythms, running around the same BPM, the new process was to conceive the track on the basis of live drums. As a result, a more organic approach, for a complete new journey.

Melancholia: “A feeling of deep sadness; melancholy”… Besides the artistic approach, from a more personal point of view, it’s also the snapshot of the end of a relationship and mixed feelings we can go through. Is it really the end? Was there anything else we should have tried? Finally, what will remain of it? And above all, how to let go and move on?

Exclusive remixes from The Fool Lovers, The Virgin Dolls and Mode Orchestra enhance the release.

An amazing video sublimates the subject of the original track, telling the story of a girl who seems lost in her past. She’s probably exploring the territory of a love forever gone. Likewise the empty pool, the time of passion seems to be definitively over. Emotions are overwhelming her and it’s heartbreaking. Can she be happy again?
