True August's “Royalty At Home” is a release that blends rhythmic movement with thoughtful songwriting, feeling both captivating and emotionally leveled. It was inspired by the idea of making a dance track with a dub feel, using sounds Vince Clarke would like. It manages to balance atmosphere and lyrical intent without one overpowering the other.
The outcome is a release that is at home, naturally melding emotional nuance and energy. The track emerged from a clear vision, based on sound and feeling from the very start of the creative process. The artist said the idea for the song was to make a dub-inspired dance track, but with sounds Vince Clarke would enjoy. That’s a great way to set the tone for the release, blending a traditional electronic influence with a more contemporary emotional feel.
There is no excess or overproduction in the song, the rhythm, texture, and mood emerge slowly, creating a very personal listening experience. As production continued, the lyrical direction became as important as the music. From there, the lyrics came quickly, and so they became important in guiding the mood of the arrangement. I wanted to make a club track where the lyrics are given equal importance to the beat.
