Ferreck Dawn And Caroline Byrne “Make Me Weak”
Review Of Ferreck Dawn’s “Make Me Weak”
In his latest track “Make Me Weak,” Dutch DJ and producer Ferreck Dawn returns to his house roots. Firstly, he opens the track with Caroline Byrne’s vocals that are equal parts evocative and resonant. This allows the song to quickly embrace its tone and tenor. Additionally, Dawn lets his instrumentational skills do the heavy lifting as he marries percussive elements to the song’s electronic atmosphere, paving the road for an energetic entryway.
Together, the omnipresent pulsating beats skillfully accord with the song’s emotionality. Correspondingly, replete with Ferreck Dawn’s effective use of “4/4 rhythms, hi-hats and claps,” the song never cedes its tempo. For the bridge section, Caroline Byrne’s impressive vocal range accentuates the track’s whirlwind quality. With micro and macro variations in tempo, she maintains the listener’s interest before the well-engineered song reinvigorates towards the end.
Despite the song’s groovy texture, the lyrics underscore themes of obsession, surrender, and yearning. “All I ever really want is your hands all over me,” the vocalist opines repeatedly, pining for her lover. The song’s take on emotional tumult is interesting as it unabashedly places passionate enchantment above all else. Danceability suffused with Byrne’s versatility and Dawn’s technical prowess will propel the song to a staple everywhere.
