D.C. vocalist Bernard Farley, aka Outputmessage, and Philly-based DJ/producer Ben Runyan, aka City Rain, combined talents to write the song “I Remember”, a synth-based, shimmering pop ballad that would make a bittersweet tune for a couple’s first wedding dance. “In my dreams/I find you/all the time/playing with a broken heart…,” Farley sings sweetly, as the chorus meanders along to reveal not the clouds, but their silvery lining. The first track on the 4-song EP proves strongest, with these radio-friendly lyrics sung by processed vocals at the forefront, though the third and fourth instrumental tracks may be more captivating for electronica fans, since one’s a preview of the “original version” which will appear on City Rain’s upcoming album, This I Will Remember, and the last is a cheerfully blippy, droplet-soaked “Rainy Day” remix by Phasen.
