‘Desires and Liars’ blends soaring synth-pop tones with danceable house beats from the first second. There is a decadent feeling to the music as it swirls around you with a richness that is utterly delightful. While the beats have you bopping to them, it is the higher synth tones that make you want to spin to their rhythm. Through the melody, Eddy has created the perfect balance of tones that enhance the messaging of the lyrics.
The balancing act of the melody carries over to the vocals. Eddy uses an electronic edge to the vocals to blend them perfectly with the music. The layers of the single come together to form a solid river of sound with the deep house beats, higher synth tones and vocals resting in the middle. The call and response style of the vocals comes through in the differing delivery. On one side, the vocals soar with outward desires before dropping for a more intimate flow of internal contemplation. The lyrics match this vocal movement to bring the reflective message of the single to life.
