New York-based producer Will Sass and Hamburg-born vocalist Malou released ‘What If It Takes You Away’. This new track captures the weight and musical clarity of two artists at pivotal turning points in their careers. Two rising forces in global dance music are here to build momentum on their own sound, story, and single vision.
‘What If It Takes You Away’ is a compelling blend of narrative songwriting and melodic soundscapes. This is Will’s signature music style after all. It exudes a summer vibe and radiance. The lyrics are thoughtful and connect with you as you listen. Let the emotional chords and infectious hook captivate you. With lush textures and Malou’s vocals that shift between restraint and release, the track balances melancholy with hope in a blend of heartwarming songwriting and glowing dance production.
‘What If It Takes You Away’ began over a year ago during one of Will’s first-ever writing trips to the UK. The idea came from a session with Nina Nesbitt and Lewis Thompson. Initially conceived as a ballad, the track lingered as Will’s sound evolved, shaped by his growing love for dance music and his emergence as a DJ in New York. Over time, it became a marker of his evolution, reenergized to reflect his artistic direction. Not to mention, the track is also a fan-favorite from his unreleased arsenal.
