Midnight Mystery Club – “If Leaving Me is Easy”

Hi there! Let me start by saying, that I enjoy writing these words as much as I enjoy listening to Midnight Mystery Club’s new release. Their cover of “If Leaving Me is Easy” is simply heavenly. Turning Phil Collins’ 1980s power ballad into a contemporary Balearic dance scene? Genius. The sentimentality of the original is still present, but it’s coated in glistening synths, dusty 808s, and a vibe that is at once retro and modern.

What makes this cover unique? That is what Midnight Mystery Club does to it. They do not merely replicate; they innovate. The anticipation of that final chorus is just incredible. Can you even imagine this playing at sunset on an Ibiza beach? It’s that good.

This is a perfect example of how to pay respect to the original while experimenting. Check out Midnight Mystery Club on Instagram, listen to this track, and let the band transport you to another world. I promise you, you’ll want to put this one on a loop.
