„Rain in July“: A summer anthem for the brokenhearted by BEL EPOQ

„Rain in July“ by BEL EPOQ

From Lübeck, Germany, BEL EPOQ is a synthwave duo with a stunning twist. They blend the bright and upbeat vibes of 80s pop with the dark and gloomy tones of darkwave, creating a sonic contrast that will keep you on your toes. Their songs are packed with powerful drums, moody synths, and huge hooks that will lure you to the dancefloor.
But not all is sunshine and rainbows in their world. Their latest single, „Rain in July“, is a bittersweet ode to a broken heart. As you watch the summer rain fall, you wonder why you gave so much and got so little in return.
With „Rain in July“, BEL EPOQ proves that they can master both sides of the synthwave spectrum. Ariane’s sweet and mesmerizing vocals soar over a hypnotic beat and haunting synths, creating a track that is both sad and irresistible. Don’t miss this gem of a song from one of the most exciting synthwave acts around.
