Chris Lake is no stranger to creating a spark on the dancefloor, but with his latest track, he’s melting hearts instead.

Released on Valentine’s Day, “Ease My Mind” is a subtle stylistic shift for the house music powerhouse, an intimate offering that trades his high-energy club artillery for something more delicate and soul-soothing. Teaming up with Amsterdam-based vocalist Abel Balder, Lake crafts a track that feels like a warm embrace in every respect.

Balder, whose signature vocals have already graced chart-topping tracks like ANOTR’s “Relax My Eyes,” delivers a performance both soothing and evocative. His voice sways effortlessly, carrying the song’s themes of clarity and emotional surrender. Lake, meanwhile, constructs a foundation of polished drum grooves and silky textures, once again reinforcing his ability to create a house records that transcend the club floor.

He leans into the softer side of house music, sculpting an arrangement that feels less like a DJ weapon and more like a late-night reverie. The track unfolds in effortless waves, with twangy pluck bass pulsing and floating weightlessly beneath Balder’s vocals. The cadence is patient, and the song’s message of seeking comfort in someone else’s presence comes into focus as its atmospheric synths stretch across the mix.
