“My mind is like a map of every word I’ve said, reaching far and wide like a spider’s web“. It’s not often the opening line of a vibrant dance track leaves me feeling philosophical, but Megan Dixon Hood pulls off just such a feat with her kaleidoscopic new single ‘Mind’s Eye’. I was introduced recently to the writing of Victorian inventor Charles Babbage; long story short he pondered how every word we speak, every move we make, influences the air around us and makes a lasting yet invisible impression on the world. He thought that if you could somehow track every particle, you’d find a record of all those words and actions – and perhaps, with such a high level of understanding, you may even figure out what comes next. In reality, the highest level of understanding we have is of ourselves. No one knows the journey we’ve taken, the choices we’ve made that led to this moment, better than we do. As such, no one knows our own future better than us. ‘Mind’s Eye’ is a track all about trusting your gut, as the answers we seek are within us from the start. Buoyed by mesmerising synths, Megan’s soaring Aurora-esque vocals, and the energising refrain of “you know who you are“, we find this reminder: manifest the future you want, and reflect on the winding path that led here, in order to find the way forward
