Skylines
Release Date: February 12, 2016
© 2016 Keith Richie
Skylines is a cinematic electronic journey that explores the architecture of sound through a global lens—an immersive album inspired by the skylines of iconic cities around the world.
Blending elements of electronic rock, synthwave, and dark synthpop, composer Keith Richie crafts an atmospheric tribute to nine cities—each track echoing the energy, emotion, and identity of its urban muse. From the rainy pulse of “Seattle Walk” to the neon-tinted melancholy of “Goodbye Dubai” and the chaotic haze of “Lost in Beijing,” Skylines invites listeners to travel without moving.
This isn’t just a sonic travelogue—it’s a fusion of geography and emotion. Each composition evokes the sensation of standing beneath towering structures, feeling the movement of life around you, and absorbing the invisible rhythm of the city itself.
The album features exclusive versions of fan-favorite singles including “Seattle Walk,” “Lost in Beijing,” and “Goodbye Dubai,” all reimagined as part of a cohesive global experience.
Whether you're drawn to lush synthesizer textures or inspired by the spirit of travel, Skylines offers a powerful soundscape that stretches across continents—and deep into the imagination.
