Picture this: you’re crusing around Barton Springs listening to your favorite radio station wink wink, and the fuzzy pulse and twinkly synth sparkles of Muse’s “Starlight” flood your car. Suddenly, inspiration strikes. So goes the story for Emilie Basez, one-half of Austin world-folk duo Her Mana. Like a long-term relationship response to the original’s falling in love energy, this beautifully transformed version is down tempo with space to breathe, trading anthemic for the power of the duo’s delicate harmonies and the heart-racing oxytocin bump for tenderness and intimacy.
