Making his first debut onthe imprint, Highlnd crafts an exceptionalmelodic bass tune with heavy percussion and distinctive synth patterns. Brought to life by Zack Gray’s emotional vocals, “If You Want To Stay” is a powerful anthem about a broken friendship that is nearing its wits’ end. “If You Want To Stay” follows Highlnd’s most recent single “Magic,” which currently is featured on Spotify’s “Trap Mojito” and “Pixel Garden” playlists.
Highlnd writes about the single,” Zack Gray and I have collaborated on multiple tracks and when he brought me this vocal, I immediately knew it would be something special. There’s so much synergy in our styles and inspiration hit as soon as we started working on it. I feel like the vocal-centric melodic EDM scene has needed a label like Lost In Dreams for a while now and I couldn’t think of a better fit for our track.”
