Paradise (feat. Milie)

Da werden Grenzen überschritten, Mauern abgerissen, Genres verschmelzen ineinander. Experimental Electronic trifft hier auf Electronica aber auch ein leichter Touch von Commercial Pop kommt durch und doch alles etwas avantgardistisch in Szene gesetzt. In diesen unterschiedlichen Weiten bewegt sich Milie herrlich leichtfüßig, tanzt nahezu von einem Bild zum anderen. Das grandiose Arrangement scheint Regie zu führen und hält bzw. fügt alles elysisch zusammen, pittoresk wird inszeniert. So we have to say Achtung: Paradise (feat. Milie) by Maestracci, nicht einfach nur ein Song.
