Solarstone and Susie Sledge’s new track ‘Haunt Me’ aims to lock you in on first listen and play on loop in your mind long after the speakers have gone quiet. In that instant catch, there’s a certain irony too, as, for the first time in his career, Solarstone delivers back-to-back single releases featuring the same vocalist, after December’s ‘star’ (drawn from his 2025 ‘innermost’ sessions).
Ledge’s song explores the lingering imprint of love on memory, where physical distance is eclipsed by a closeness felt only in the mind. Through echoic metaphor, her words capture the intensity
of absence - a lingering meditation on connections that endure beyond separation.
Solarstone answers it with a production that contains percussion and bass — yet his riffs are measured, never overreaching, and allow her voice to lead his synths. It walks the line between
understatement and ascendance, keeping the energy high while the feels stay front and centre.
Solarstone & Susie Sledge ‘Haunt Me’ is out now on Black Hole Recordings.
