Natalia Pardalis is a music educator and artist based in British Columbia, Canada. She works with several different art forms such as films, music and writing in order to fully express her creativity and vision. She has been releasing music since 2016, with her latest album being her Covid Lockdown project. Her 2023 single “Summer Night (Special Version)” features fellow Greek musician Manos Takos!

The track starts off with very grand horns that remain a prominent element throughout the single. It acts as the song’s backbone and holds the different elements together. The Jazzy keys along with the tropical percussion screams the Latin American influences and Maracas in the background add groove and pep to the already majestic soundscape. The bilingual songwriting explores summer nights filled with heat and romance. I personally enjoyed the grandeur of the track and the alterative version it offers as a party track to a sonic culture where only EDM music can be perceived as such.

Natalia Pardalis gives an inviting and sultry vocal performance filled with whispery vocal inflections that add texture to the track. Manos Takos complements her voice with a strong voice and I enjoyed how the artists came together and played off of each other’s energy. The track truly feels like a collaborative effort rather than just a feature.

“Summer Nights (Special Version)” is a party track through and through, emitting high energy from start to finish, never letting go of its fun vibes. Make sure to check out Natalia Pardalis and her work here:
