Moonshine, Alan Walker, Elley Duhé | Review

Alan Walker and Elley Duhé’s latest collaboration, Moonshine, is an energetic dance-pop anthem that perfectly captures the rush of being on a dance floor. As someone who goes to plenty of raves and EDM festivals, I can easily imagine the lights flashing, the bass vibrating through the crowd, and everyone going crazy for this track live. From the moment the beat kicks in, Moonshine hits you with fast-paced drums, shimmering synths, and shifting rhythm changes, which give the song a dynamic pulse that keeps you hooked from the start. The track even reminds me of some of John Summit’s productions, blending house and pop elements in a way that feels electric and euphoric.

Elley Duhé’s vocals truly elevate Moonshine to another level. Her voice has this smooth, echoey texture at the beginning that immediately draws you in before the beat drops. She transforms the single from a solid dance track to something so memorable. The lyric, “tried so hard but I can't deny, loving you’s like drinking moonshine” is insanely catchy. I have already caught myself singing it in my head all day.

What makes Moonshine stand out to me is the blend of pop with storytelling and the energy of modern house music. It is like one of those songs that you can play on a late-night drive or blast from festival speakers and feel the same thing. Overall, the track is a great reminder of the profound connection music can have with people; evokes emotion and inspires movement. Definitely a new favorite of mine and a must add to any dance playlist.
