End of Code, Deep Into Your Soul Review

End of Code is a duet between Nicolas Saad and Shawn Pereira. The Malibu/Monaco electro Duo are writing, producing, and expressing future and freedom’s musical energy. Saad has been developing his musical creativity since the 90’s, DJing and producing for French radio and TV. Pereira absorbed the music while he taught himself while traveling the world modeling for Ralph Lauren Polo Sport, Diet Coke, and Tag Heuer. During a vacation in St Barth’s, Pereira met Saad, and End of Code was formed. The Beginning is the duet’s debut album, which was released in March of 2020. Their music has an appeal that allowed fans to catch their vibe across the globe. Their music is the official sound of BMW Monaco, playing in every new car sold. End of Code is set to release a new album in 2021 and is now releasing its first single called “Deep Into Your Soul.”

Bottom Line: “Deep Into Your Soul” was created with Saad creating the music and Pereira writing the lyrics and singings. Saad used the legendary TR-808 drum machine to make the beat, which resulted in a deep groove for the other sounds to layer upon. Pereira speaks about the lyrics, “It’s about trying to write a song with the title referring to the confinement period. I tend to write a lot of metaphors and images. The song’s meaning is all in the hook. ‘Now as we close again, you can’t go out, so you have to go in and down down deep into your soul, before you lose control.'” The full drum sound is adorned with synth swells to introduce the song. Pereira’s vocals enter with a quite introspective feeling. The 2nd verse has added parts to give the song direction and development. Vocal harmonies are added, too, as the song builds. The third verse takes us to the climax. The production is balanced and organic. The ending phrases have a counterpoint between Pereira and a synth melody. Overall, “Deep Into Your Soul” has an eighties retro vibe with witty lyrics and a hypnotic beat. End of Code is creating solid sounds for your playlist, and that’s the short of it!
