“Make It Easy,” featuring the vocals of Lizzy Land, is a track that effortlessly slides into your consciousness with its drifting, sentimental vibe. Released on Lane 8’s This Never Happened label, the song encompasses all that we have come to expect from a platform that values the essence of music over the constant bombardment of social media. Taking a cue from Robby East’s diverse musical background and Lizzy Land’s captivating voice, the track offers a new dimension in what one could term as ‘chilled melodic house.’
Robby East, a 24-year-old Dutch/South Korean talent, exhibits his masterful understanding of natural rhythms and textures. The percussion and drums are notably organic, providing a driving force that lends a complementary swing to Lizzy Land’s vocal lines. The execution is nothing short of an auditory experience that feels fluid yet intentional. It’s an accomplishment that aligns perfectly with East’s growth as a musician, having evolved from playing the guitar to graduating from the prestigious Conservatory of Haarlem.

The sonic layers in “Make It Easy” further showcase East’s intricate sound design. A warm piano sound infuses the track with a rich texture, while the lead synth captures your attention with its calm filter automation—almost like a ghostly whisper through the composition. Not to forget, there is a subdued arp that seamlessly works with the lead melody, ensuring that both elements maintain a dynamic interplay. The result is a track that tells a compelling story without resorting to an overly explosive or formulaic structure.
Daniel, aka Lane 8, has always strived to create an intimate connection between the audience and the music through This Never Happened label. The release of “Make It Easy” under this label accentuates that ethos, delivering an experience rather than just a mere song. When you have artists like Robby East and Lizzy Land embracing this philosophy, you get a piece of music that leaves an indelible mark, not just on the charts but in the hearts of those who dare to listen deeply.”
