Dina Summer – Fuel

Mechanical Precision Meets Electric Fire

With "Fuel", Dina Summer deliv­ers a track per­meated by a won­der­fully cool and icy beat. Presented with mech­an­ic­al pre­ci­sion, the track is almost min­im­al­ist, the pro­duc­tion cours­ing through the air like elec­tri­city through wires. The vocals are more spoken-word that are not usu­ally my cup of tea, but they work per­fectly here. Lyrically, it's all about elec­tric ten­sion and total sur­render ("I am your fuel, I'm your fire"), per­fectly cap­tur­ing the EBM vibe.

The over­all artist­ic effect is def­in­itely what counts here. Juta Jakobsone's music video is equally com­pel­ling: Shot in strik­ing black and white, it's highly artist­ic. Several scenes remind me of Depeche Mode's legendary "Strangelove" video. An intense jour­ney between human­ity and stark architecture.

Lyrics of "Dina Summer – Fuel"

Core con­nec­tion
Need the light
Electric current
Through the night

No con­trol
The voltage grows
Cold machine
The power flows

I am your fuel
I’m your fire
Burning slow
Taking you higher

I am your fuel
I’m your fire
Burning slow
Taking you higher

I’m the spark
You can’t contain
Lost in current
Fused in flame

Keep it burning
Never lose
I’m your fuel
I’m your fuse

I am the tank
I am the drive
You must keep pace
To stay alive

Touch the contact
Feel the shock
Every second
On the clock

I am your fuel
I’m your fire
Burning slow
Taking you higher

I am your fuel
I’m your fire
Burning slow
Taking you higher

I am your fuel
