Berlin’s Ay Wing Soundtracks the Heatwave With New Pop Pearl "Ice Cream Dream"
A singer, songwriter, producer, performer and bandleader, Swiss-born, Berlin-based Ay Wing has it pretty much covered when it comes to ensuring her beat-driven fluorescent synthpop is exactly as she wants it. And, primarily, she wants it so that her audience dance and her listeners are entranced. Big on retro synths, bouncy guitar riffs and dirty beats, hers is accessible electronica of the classic kind, savvy three-minute pop bangers enhanced by Ay Wing’s strict attention to the most exacting musical detail.
Appropriate to both the vivid video and the sweet subject matter, Ay Wing's "Ice Cream Dream" is a generous scoop of fresh and catchy electronic pop, with a breezy, lingering melody and a bass-driven, booty-shaking disco pulse. An anthemic, escapist antidote to the pressures of modern life, "Ice Cream Dream", like a cooling treat on a sticky summer day, leaves you craving more. As Ay Wing herself says: “In an age where we’re all a little bit more stressed than we probably need to be, couldn’t we all use a little more ice-cream sweetness in our lives?”
