Alright, it's time to give my two cents on Jennasen's latest tune 'Velvet Twilight' featuring 'The Biomechanical Toy'. First off, I have to say that this song falls into that category of "not quite sure if I'm sold on it, but I can't stop listening to it". You know the feeling, right?
The song itself is definitely poppy, but it's got this chilled-out vibe that I can get down with. The synthesizer sounds are pretty killer and the vocals are smooth as butter. But let's not forget about 'The Biomechanical Toy'. The Spanish sparring partner brings some serious electronic firepower to the table, and it's a match made in heaven.
If you're into electro pop that's a bit on the shallower side, then 'Velvet Twilight' is definitely worth a listen. It's catchy, it's fun, and it's got just enough of an edge to keep things interesting. And honestly, the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me.

Lyrics of 'Jennasen – Velvet Twilight (Feat. The Biomechanical Toy)'
Whatever happened to the magic?
Was it all in my mind?
Was it make believe?
Faded memory
I’m tired of feeling like a villain
I’m no good at goodbye
But don’t say to me
It was all a dream
Shake off that mess
So sick of second-guessing myself
I spent too many years among the wreckage
Trying to resurrect a dead end
Running into walls made of stone
Hanging by the thread of my foolish hope
But if I’m begging for bones
I’d rather be alone
Velvet twilight
End the dark night
Bring me back to life
I’m gonna be alright
I take a good look in the mirror
And decide how it’s gonna be
No amount of history
Was worth that misery
Ooh
I’ve finally had it with the madness
And the patterns playing on repeat
So I’m setting free
What’s not meant for me
New friends, new place
Little moments that leave a glimmer in my days
I savor the changes
I’m on my way
(I’m on my way)
And I can feel the blood rush beneath my skin
Let the sunshine light me up again
I’m an ocean
Wide open
And I’m diving in
So this is starting over
I fix my eyes on the horizon
Hold my head high and suddenly
Find the stars are within my reach
Beyond my wildest dreams
Oh yeah yeah
I’ve finally had it with the madness
And the patterns playing on repeat
So I’m setting free
What was not meant for me
Velvet twilight
End the dark night
Bring me back to life
I’m coming back into the magic
That was always a part of me
I’ve found my peace
And it’s sweet relief
Jennasen about 'Velvet Twilight (Feat. The Biomechanical Toy)'
Electronic artists Jennasen (USA) and The Biomechanical Toy (Spain) have teamed up for their new synth pop release, “Velvet Twilight”.
“Velvet Twilight” is punctuated by elegant synthesizer sounds and dreamy pop vocals, opening with a dance beat reminiscent of 80s synth pop. The rise and fall of the electronic soundscape carries the listener as the song navigates the bittersweet crossroads of letting go and moving forward, echoing out in a warm and palpable embrace.
The collaboration happened organically when the two artists connected on social media. The Biomechanical Toy provided an electronic playground for Jennasen to craft the melody and lyrics, and each artist added their personal touch to the project. “We set out to create a song that is both danceable and soul-stirring,” they shared.
Jennasen has been making waves in her hometown Indianapolis, IN. In 2022, her debut year, she released two synth pop singles (“Scared Rabbit” and “Generator”) and gave over thirty live performances, including opening for a national act and playing to sold out crowds.
The Biomechanical Toy (David Albalá Ubiergo), based in Aragón, Spain, has been steadily producing electronic dance music since 2020, and his melodic instrumental releases continue to gain momentum in the media and on radio airwaves.
“Velvet Twilight” is available for streaming and download on all major music platforms, along with a psychedelic video visualizer YouTube premiere, on February 17th.
