“SWEAT" by LILYAN. | Review

LILYAN. captures what can only be described as the feeling of being trapped in a haunted club by giving in to the music in “SWEAT.” The single is perfect for anyone who is a little early to the Halloween spirit or wants to get the feeling of being sweaty in a club dancing with the bass coursing through you wherever they are listening. LILYAN. is the cooler Dua Lipa with refined dance anthems that have a naughtier feeling. She just feels elevated and in control. After listening to “SWEAT” I felt a lot more confident to go back out to the clubs and get deep into the crowd.

Beyond being a club track, “SWEAT” documents the moment when music is all consuming, washing away any anxiety, and instead focusing on the physical. With a grooving bassline and shiver inducing strings, LILYAN. sings, “No stopping when we’re burning up/ This fever’s got me high enough/ Watch me sweat.” “SWEAT” is sensual talking, heat and capture with such a rhythmic groove that it too traps you.

LILYAN. provides the exact moment she is talking about with this song. The melodies will make you dance and the lyrics like “you taste just like candy/ I might need a Plan B” and “Baby, you’re the hottest topic/ love the way you move it’s hot shit” will have your heart racing. It’s the perfect song to give you a shiver up your spine in a pleasurable and eerie way just as the summer comes to an end and the spooky season arrives.
