Midnight Mystery Club's Dreamy, Modern Take On A Classic

From the very first note, Midnight Mystery Club’s take on "If Leaving Me is Easy" had me completely hooked. This reimagining of the 1980 Phil Collins ballad is mesmerizing. It blends nostalgia with a fresh, hypnotic energy, making it impossible not to get lost in its dreamy soundscape.

What stands out about this version is how it respects the emotional weight of the original while effortlessly pulling it into a modern, Balearic-inspired atmosphere. Midnight Mystery Club transforms the track with soft, echoed synths and lush, tape-saturated 808 toms, replacing the iconic horn section with something more ethereal. The result is a surreal, almost meditative listening experience that still manages to build into an anthemic outro.

When the vocals come in, the song takes on a whole new level of depth. It’s intimate yet expansive, capturing that bittersweet feeling of longing and loss. I could listen to this on repeat for hours; it's the kind of track that just wraps around you and doesn’t let go.

Midnight Mystery Club has a way of taking classics and infusing them with new life while staying true to their signature sound. If this is just a taste of what’s to come in 'Aesthetics Vol. 1', I seriously can’t wait to hear the full project.

Simply put, "If Leaving Me is Easy" is a beautiful interpretation with a unique atmosphere. Midnight Mystery Club has created something special, and I have no doubt this will be on repeat for many, myself included.
