Volaris takes the electronic dance floor approach to “Close To You” instead of the traditional love song route. There’s something nice about the tension between the intimacy that the title suggests and the club-centred identity of the track. “Close To You” does not need to follow the traditional format of a romantic pop song to create a sense of intimacy.
I would have liked to have seen some more lyrical material to explore here, but that is not necessarily what the track is trying to offer. It’s the electronic construction and the atmosphere it creates that appeal.
The single also marks the first release associated with Volaris’ HORIZN venture, indicating an interest in building a recognizable musical direction. If you like melodic electronic music with a strong club foundation, it’s well worth exploring “Close To You.
