| Song |
"Rapture" is the first single released from iiO's debut album, Poetica, which launched the duo into fame.
Musical Structure & Lyrics
It starts with a synth making some effects until the beat starts. Then the song unfolds, including its catchy chorus.
The song talks about a woman who met a man in a club, and how she is deeply passionate about him. It mixes holy terms with words describing her emotional feelings for him, indicating that her love is so passionate, it is almost a divine experience for her. [citation needed]
Music Video
It features the duo, one of the few electronica videos that does so, since usually Models are hired to appear in the video, and the artists do a cameo. The video develops in a tecnological city, Nadia Ali is seen in a room full of machines that scan her, and eventually digitalize her, and projects her hologram high above the city, while Markus Moser is seen in a car riding through the city.
