Constantly evolving music producer phvrien returns with a massive follow-up to his huge hit “I Can’t Do This,” dubbed “Diamond”

When 26-year-old phvrien is not time-traveling or cruising across the oceans and lands, you better believe he’s cozied up in a studio somewhere, trying to transform his limitlessly good inspirations and ideas into melodies with universal appeal. He is a sucker for intricate rhythms, pulsating basslines, soaring euphoric synth leads, and ethereal textures, manipulating them to come up with these really captivating melodies that underscore his cutting-edge production virtuosity. His latest creations, “I Can’t Do This” and “Diamond,” all birthed in some San Francisco studios, have collectively amassed over 1.2 million streams and counting—a huge testament to the songs’ massive appeal that have earned them a global listenership.

The ethereal and airy quality of the sampled vocals at the intro gives the song a haunting feel as they whisper their way over the building foundation. phvrien showcases a patient yet purposeful sound design, leading a listener on and allowing them to feel invited and part of whatever it is that is about to unravel.

And once it unravels, it really does so with a thumping effect. The soaring rhythms and euphoric synths blend favorably with the pulsating basslines, driving beats, and shimmering pads, immediately exuding a feeling of transcendence as phvrien cleverly closes the gap between dance floor energy and the emotional depth of something like a movie score, making the jam highly evocative and memorable.

Without a doubt, the ethereal vocals create an anthemic allure around the song, one that envelops its listener in an infectious embrace as the uplifting melodies and futuristic sound design with epic builds and drops make this song quite an exhilarating listening experience.

Melodic, atmospheric, and still deep and driving with gratifying high energy, “Diamond” offers the ideal escape from reality and a closer, palpable view of the cosmos, where everything feels like an enchanting epiphany, akin to discovering some precious gemstones.

“Diamond” serves as another massive addition to the artist’s expanding catalog and continues in his reputation of creating popularly acclaimed hit bangers. It is well documented that previously under the artistic pseudonym “Who To Blame,” he created huge hits and albums that have cumulatively amassed over 20 million streams…I know you’re thinking it—this is nothing new to him.

If you were looking for something euphoric, emotionally uplifting, physically gratifying, and infectiously memorable, “Diamond” is the sign that you’ve got it.

Enjoy!
