Abruptly, Lindqvist’s vocals break the instrumental into a smooth, complete track. ![]() The track begins with a spiraling of synths and mechanical sounds that feel far away and dissonant. The second-to-last track “Devotion” encapsulates Surrender. It’s difficult for anyone to listen to “Make It Happen” without bopping their head and tapping their foot: Simply put, it’s fun listening for anyone, regardless of their music preferences. “Make It Happen” builds anticipation with Lindqvist again guiding the audience through sing-along style verses, which eventually burst into a choir of children’s voices repeating, “Love can change your life/ Love can make it happen.” While the lyrics here aren’t as refined in comparison to other tracks, it sticks to EDM’s contagiously cheesy, fun positivity. “Next To Me” highlights how Surrender fine-tunes the trio’s multidimensionality, evoking more emotion in its tunes than ever before.Įlsewhere, “Make It Happen” stays true to the group’s origins with a joyful sound, catchy chorus and overall playful nature. “I knew this time would come/ Ever since I first looked in your eyes/ I said, ‘You’re the one,’ ” Lindqvist sings, an example of how the group’s lyricism provides Surrender a depth that most dance music lacks. RÜFÜS DU SOL has always separated itself from traditional EDM not only through its sound, but through its dreamy lyricism.

Surrender sees the group shift away from its originally careless house and electronic music. RÜFUS DÜ SOL has come a long way since having a chokehold on tropical island drone flyovers, with the group appearing in the background of Alexis Ren and Jay Alvarez travel videos. ![]() With its 2013 freshman album, Atlas, the group introduced “tropical house” to the scene - a subset of EDM that blends indie, bedroom pop and electronic music made for surfers, hippies and everyone in between. But Australian trio RÜFÜS DU SOL has always exceeded the expectations of traditional EDM, taking a more playful and laid-back approach. It’s synonymous with a sweaty club, party drugs and intense beeps and boops that offer its audience nothing but pounding headaches and ringing ears. Electronic dance music (EDM) often gets a bad rapport from the music industry and listeners alike. ![]()
