It has been 6 years since Porter Robinson’s first album release ‘Worlds’ which catapulted him into the mainstream media.

Winning awards and further collaborations meant that there were of course ups and downs musically and personally and after some time away, he is about to release his new album, ‘Nurture’, which ‘Get your wish’ is from. As an artist, he has been making music for a long long time, and as a mere 27 year old, it has been an incredible evolution for the self taught musician from Atlanta Georgia. 

Get your wish is very much an energy filled electronic dance song to get 2020 moving. With an exciting intro, we are brought a full electronic dance mix with Porter Robinson’s new track. The vocals are much slower than the beat behind the music in the verse, but unusually, the chorus seems to slow down, with a long epic drum that pushes the song and makes for a really catchy beat. The texture moves from full, to sparse, from fast percussion, to longer, spaced out beats and it means that the whole song is interesting and keeps your attention. The vocal itself is really processed, as you would expect from this genre, but not so much that it detracts from the song itself. The polished production of the accompaniment, the variety of synths, percussion and tempo mean that the phrases that repeat all sound different, but give a flow that isn’t heard that often in modern electronic dance music. 

With a completely unique vocal sound, well crafted melody and smooth production of backing, ‘Get your wish’ is a great new addition to this week's new releases. It proves that this music is not just a series of loops put together, but is actually musically excellent, with the format and final delivery as complex as a full orchestrated pop song.
