May 2, 2025 – After making waves with his Warner debut ‘Heartfalls’ (feat. Khazali) in March, UK producer Sonnee returns with his latest single ‘Pollen’ – a beautifully textured blend of emotional subtlety and electronic pulse. As one of the most compelling new producers, Sonnee has been gaining momentum, with support from electronic music’s biggest tastemakers (including BBC R1’s ‘Introducing Track of the Week’, Jaguar’s ‘Dancefloor Moment’ and DSP editorial playlist covers), remixing acclaimed artists such as Mild Minds and Sultan & Shepard, and playing sold-out sets alongside Tourist, Nimino, Model Man, Swimming Paul and ATRIP.
With “Pollen”, Sonnee once again showcases his gift for weaving emotion into sound—but this time with a distinctly more electronic edge. The track balances introspective moments with a fresh sense of energy, layering driving beats and shimmering textures over its emotional core. It’s more dancefloor-ready than his previous releases, yet no less heartfelt—built on atmospheric Foley FX, finely tuned production, and a lyrical message that lands with quiet power: real feelings will always find a way. Like water—or pollen—they move, they spread, and they persist.
At its core, ‘Pollen’ captures a feeling many know all too well: waiting for someone who means more than words can express. But rather than sinking into longing, the lyrics offer something rarer—a sense of hope. “Time only ever brings me closer to you.” It’s a line that repeats like a mantra, imbuing the track with gentle determination and emotional depth.
Ultimately, the song speaks to trust—the kind that doesn’t fade with time or distance. There’s no drama here, no sweeping declarations. Just a quiet certainty, calmly unwavering: We’re on our way back to each other.
The minimalist lyricism and hypnotic repetition lend the track a meditative quality. Each phrase isn’t just repeated—it’s reinforced. This emotion is real. And it’s not going anywhere.
“Pollen” is out now via Warner Music Central Europe. It’s the second release from Sonnee’s forthcoming EP, “innershy”, which will be released in June.
