Kygo – Freeze (Official Video)

Kygo, a Norwegian music producer who is a leading artist in tropical house and has now transcended that category to become a global star with many hit songs, has continued his energetic activities online even during the pandemic.

In May 2022, he released Freeze, an ambitious work that runs over eight minutes.

The track features a grand, cinematic soundscape; the soulful melody by Andrew Jackson over the piano in the intro and the development in the latter half—where Kygo’s signature colorful synths intertwine with a four-on-the-floor beat—are truly dramatic, resulting in a masterpiece that suggests new possibilities beyond conventional tropical house.

Be sure to check out the music video too, which feels like a short film befitting the song.
