The stunning melodic dubstep track released on Seven Lions' Ophelia Records.

Ray Volpe is back with his latest stunner, a must-listen melodic dubstep track called "Meant To Be Lonely."

"Meant To Be Lonely" is an emotionally-charged track that beautifully blends Volpe's heavy bass production with Donna Tella's aching vocals. The song opens with a slow and haunting melody that sets the tone for the introspective lyricism to come. Touching on the universal theme of loneliness, Tella's topline is stunning, conveying a sense of longing that perfectly matches the melancholic mood of the arrangement.

As the song progresses, the bassline becomes more prominent, adding a sense of urgency and intensity to the mix. The drops hit hard, with Volpe's signature production creating a powerful contrast with the vulnerability of the vocals. And the EDM.com Class of 2022 star doesn't pull punches on the second drop, which he said "always gives me goosebumps when I end my sets with it."

All said and done, "Meant To Be Lonely" is a standout track that is sure to strike a chord with listeners who appreciate the intersection of bass music and poignant songwriting. Check out the new song below and stream it here.
