‘Hija del cielo‘, which in Spanish means ‘Daughter of the sky’, was released in 2023 as a single by Berlin Singer-Songwriter & Alternative Electronic Artist Emileo.
She came to Dublin after receiving a scholarship from Sinead O’Connor herself to attend BIMM and study Commercial Modern Music. She met Dublin Songwriter & Producer Ben Hogan (aka BENJAMYN) through mutual friends, and they soon became close.
‘Hija del cielo’ was the first track Ben heard of Emmi’s, and it immediately struck a deep chord within him. He fell in love with the emotion behind her vocal, the ambience of the instrumentation, and the overall worldy feel it gave. He knew that he had to remix it.
For his remix, BENJAMYN isolated sections of the vocal melody that he felt the deepest, and created a new Dance/Electronica backdrop of organic harps, uptempo drums, driving basslines, and Trance-inspired synths. He remixed it during a trip through Vietnam & Thailand – finding inspiration in the tropical landscapes surrounding him, while holding on to the initial emotional foundation he’d found in the song.
