With his debut album\u00a0Chemistry<\/em>,\u00a0Chris Lake<\/a>\u00a0asserts full command over the genre he’s helped reshape over the years.<\/p>\n

Spanning fifteen tracks and stitched together with a precise sense of artistic purpose, the long-awaited project from Lake is both highly collaborative and intentional in its storytelling. At a time when singles continue to dominate the dance music discourse, Chemistry<\/em> is a welcome outlier.<\/p>\n

Lake has always had an instinct for stoking movement, but on\u00a0Chemistry,<\/em>\u00a0he pushes further, exploring the emotional and narrative potential of house music with a rare kind of clarity. The opening track “On and On” sets the tone with a splash of blissed-out piano house that lands with equal parts levity and lift.<\/p>\n

Previously-released single “Savana” arrives early on as track number three, and it\u2019s already one of Lake\u2019s most resonant to date. The hypnotic track pulses with vibrant synths and a sing-along style chorus that distills the track\u2019s thesis into a perfectly carefree mantra.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the album unfolds, Lake operates like a director, pulling nuanced performances from every featured artist on the highly collaborative project. This is clearest on the title track, “Chemistry,” where Vera Blue\u2019s falsetto shines across a restless, vocaloid-laced synth lead.\u00a0Meanwhile, “Ease My Mind” offers a moment to deeply exhale midway through the record, pairing Lake with Abel Balder for one of the album\u2019s most affecting moments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout Chemistry<\/em>, Lake reveals his range within the genre, moving seamlessly from groove-driven floor-fillers to introspective, melodic pieces.\u00a0Lake delivers a project that’s both wide in ambition and laser-focused in execution. Overall,\u00a0Chemistry<\/em> feels handcrafted as it leans into the legacy Lake has built, then pushes beyond it.<\/p>\n
