Beat The Drum steps confidently into the spotlight with their first track, "Black Sunset." It feels like both a big deal and a personal one. The song is about finding love in a city during the summer. It sounds like a warm, fuzzy memory that doesn't last long but still has a lot of emotional power.
The song has a flow that pulls the listener into a dreamy headspace that doesn't feel forced. "Black Sunset" possesses elements of Arooj Aftab's meditative depth and Massive Attack's dark, nighttime pulse, yet it maintains its unique identity. The production has room to breathe, so the space, texture, and atmosphere can tell as much of the story as the melody can.
The lyrics of the song are more about feelings than about telling a story. When the city fades into the background and everything is focused on shared looks, late-night walks, and the quiet intensity of summer romance, it shows how hard it is to connect with someone. It has a soft sound, but it also makes you feel like you want something that lasts long after the song is over.
One of the things that makes "Black Sunset" special is that they work with British Tamil artist Nisha Sivan. Her voice gives the song a supernatural feel, and it fits in perfectly, making it more emotional. They brought the chemistry into the studio with honesty and warmth, as if it originated from a real meeting.
