Joel Corry’s “Phases” featuring Abi Flynn marks a striking evolution in his sound — a shift toward something moodier, more introspective, yet still undeniably danceable.

The track opens with atmospheric pads and a pulsing low-end that instantly draws you in, setting a cinematic tone before Flynn’s soulful vocals take center stage. Her performance is both haunting and empowering, capturing the emotional turbulence of change and self-realization — perfectly encapsulated in the lyric “changing phases, staying the same.”

Corry’s production complements her delivery beautifully, blending deep house grooves with lush melodic layers and crisp percussion. The drop doesn’t rely on overblown energy; instead, it swells naturally, propelled by tight rhythms and subtle synth stabs that give the song a hypnotic drive. There’s a refined polish to every detail — from the clarity of the mix to the way the arrangement ebbs and flows with emotional precision.

What’s most impressive is how Corry balances atmosphere with accessibility: “Phases” is radio-ready yet rich with depth, equally suited to headphones as it is to a packed club. It’s a testament to his growth as a producer — proving he can move beyond catchy hooks into storytelling through sound, while Abi Flynn’s vocal presence ensures the song lingers long after the final beat fades.
