Always nice to have a new track from Sylvia... but this one is not as strong as some of her most recent ones. She went for a very breathy vocal style and it just doesn't show off her talent. I saw the single cover and then a video on her website, and I cannot believe how much she is trying to emulate Kristine W! If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was Kristine! I wonder why she did that... www.sylviatosun.com

I didn't like this one as much as her previous offerings. I prefer the main version but the remixes are really lacking. I really liked "Head Over Heels", "A Day Like Any Other", "Sleepless" and "Sanctuary."
The video is kinda nice. I totally see the Kristine W. comparisons.

Hey guy's, not sure what you find wrong with the song or what the remixes lack but this is undoubtedly Sylvia's biggest club record to date. Support from UK's Radio 1, been picked up for a Defected comp and is being played by some of the worlds biggest DJ's, especially the AdamK and Soha remix. Its also in the top 100 of Beatport currently.
Personally I think the records dope! I recommend everyone to check it.

Billboard review:
Underlying Feeling SYLVIA TOSUN Producer(s): Anton Bass, Sylvia Tosun, Dave Pezza Genre: DANCE Label: Sea to Sun
Juilliard-trained singer/ songwriter Sylvia Tosun has asserted rare lyrical aptitude within the twirl community, gracing Billboard Hot Club Play with a trio of exceptionally crafty hits—"Sanctuary" and "Sleepless" in 2006 and "Head Over Heels" earlier this year. Entrancing "Underlying Feeling" is yet another instantaneous melodic amulet, this time conjuring the silkier side of her vocal prowess, sweetly proclaiming romantic intent. Soulshaker remixes maintain integrity, adding spicy instrumental charms (and delish piano tinkles), while the original mix conjures the sensual potential of Saturday night. "Head Over Heels" demonstrated Tosun's charms as a millennial must-have, but she bounds forward here—not to mention a (YouTube) videoclip where she dresses the part of a near-dozen ethereal fantasy figures. "Underlying Feeling" delivers eight cylinders: melody, production, performance, attitude, visual, beauty, innate talent and persistence. If you hadn't yet noticed, a star is born. —Chuck Taylor

Ok so after a couple weeks, I definitely like it more now. In that Billboard review the whole concept described for the video (the "ethereal fantasy figures") still is totally similar to what Kristine W has been doing, and I think Chuck Taylor knows that! I do agree about the lyrics being more advanced and meaningful in Sylvia's songs, and I appreciate the high standards. Like I said, a new Sylvia track is always nice to have!

After having listened to it more this week when I was reviewing it for my music review blog, I like it a lot more. It's something different. Upon more careful listens, I feel the Adam K & Soha mixes have the vibe of a trance song but at a lower bpm and with a softer beat. But it has a real euphoric aura all throughout it.
