We had a chat with exciting electronic duo The Electric Soul Syndicate about their engrossing new single ‘Falling’ and upcoming new EP
Boasting a distinctive electronic sound that sits unpredictably in between the worlds of funk and house, The Electric Soul Syndicate are Grammy®-nominated vocalist, songwriter, and lyricist Mishell Ivon and multi-talented pianist, composer, and musician Andrew Land, two artists who have been working together to compliment each other’s styles and create something that feels transcendent and all-encompassing in the process.
Their new single ‘Falling’ is a track that has an atmospheric feel to it throughout, with Andrew’s soundscape offering a captivating, beating pulse for Mishell’s groove-laden vocals to delicately float over, making for a distinctive melding of fusion of electronica, soul, and EDM that feels as cinematic and timeless as it is fiercely modern and expansive. The track is just the first taste of an upcoming new EP from the duo, and we had a chat with both Mishell and Andrew to find out a bit more about the new single and what we should expect from the release as a whole.
Hey! We love your new single ‘Falling’, what more can you tell us about it?
Mishell: A melodic journey between weightlessness and surrender. It captures the exact moment control fades and the feeling takes hold.
Andrew: Falling sits somewhere between a club track and something more introspective. It’s built around a looping synth idea that anchors the whole piece, with everything else evolving around that — drums, textures, and Mishell’s vocals. There’s a sense of movement throughout, but it never really resolves in a traditional way. It’s more about staying inside that space and letting it shift gradually.
What was the process like putting it together?
Mishell: The process is like a high-speed puzzle. We build the skeleton together, then I fill the space with lyrics and melody. It’s a constant cycle of building up and tearing down until the soundscape feels exactly right. It just flows.
Andrew: It started with the synth — that was the foundation. From there it was about building a groove that didn’t overpower it but gave it forward motion. We tend to work quite iteratively, passing ideas back and forth and stripping things out as much as adding them. A lot of the process is deciding what doesn’t need to be there, so the core elements have room to breathe.
What were your biggest influences when creating it?
Mishell: My mood and my environment are everything. It just so happened that I was at my place in Italy throughout the writing process which allowed the EP to take on its own life in that space. The themes aren’t abstract—they’re just honest snapshots of what we were feeling and experiencing in real time.
Andrew: It’s less about specific artists and more about a shared approach — music that sits between electronic and something more organic, where repetition and subtle change do the work. There’s definitely an influence from more emotive club music, but also from minimal and ambient ideas in terms of restraint and space. It’s about finding that balance between groove and atmosphere.
What should be expect from your upcoming new EP Blue On Blue?
Mishell: Expect a sense of calm intensity. It’s a spectrum of moods—from the warmth of a sun-drenched afternoon to the stillness of a cool breeze. We’re exploring the space between sleepless dreams and clear vision. It’s a short, intentional trip into a different state of mind.
Andrew: The EP explores that space more fully — tracks that sit between the dancefloor and something more reflective. There’s a consistent palette across it, but each piece leans slightly differently into rhythm, melody, or texture. It’s not about big moments, more about cohesion and how the tracks sit together as a whole.
What else do you have planned for the near future?
Mishell: Endless exploration. We have a vault of new music waiting to be shared and a few more experiments in the works. The process is everything, we’re just following the sound
Andrew: We’re continuing to develop the project, both in terms of new material and how it translates beyond just recorded music. There are more collaborations in the pipeline, and we’re interested in pushing the sound slightly further without losing that core identity — keeping it minimal, but still connected to the club.
