Take Me Away
Led by husband-and-wife duo South Africa-born Jean-Philip Grobler and Germany-born Patti Beranek, St. Lucia retreat from a fractured world on fire and into the glow of a rapturous synth-spiked electro-pop catharsis—like a dance party at the edge of existence. “Take Me Away” bops along on claps and a falsetto hum with uncontainable energy and a twist of trip-hop production. Thematically, this song deals with depression and mental health. "I’ve struggled with both of these things throughout my life, but I’ve found that the best way out of that cycle is through speaking my mind and talking to someone about it," Grobler says. "The worst thing, I’ve found, is to keep that thought cycle bottled up inside yourself because that way it festers and goes into a feedback loop of negativity."
