Five years after his last albums, 2021’s paired releases Yin and Yang, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and film composer Reza Safinia returns with “I Feel U,” a dark and sensual club banger about seeking connection in an increasingly fractured and isolated world. “I feel you/I need you/I feel your energy, through the screen,” Safinia croons in a honeyed falsetto as pulsating bass and squelchy synths dance their way through the storm. In just a few terse lines, Safinia reflects on the nature of connection in a digital world—how people can forge intense relationships despite physical distance—as well as what it means to relive memories of deceased loved ones and pets through photos and videos.
Heady and exhilarating in its kaleidoscopic rush, the song culminates in an ecstatic break disintegrating through extreme envelope-shaping on one of the myriad analog synthesizers Safinia has collected in recent years. It resolves with a healthy dose of acid and is the first glimpse of Safinia’s forthcoming new double album, 1/∞, a sprawling exploration of the intense polarities that shape modern life delivered in four elemental acts—”Fire,” “Water,” “Earth,” and “Air,” from which this track is taken. 1/∞ is due out in August 2026.
