When Paths Finally Converge
Some collaborations are destined before they’re made. Dummy Splash and Arula have orbited each other’s creative worlds for years—contributing individually to shared projects, exchanging ideas across distances, sensing the inevitability of a true union. With Let It Be Sweet, that long-held vision finally crystallizes into sound.
This single marks a homecoming of sorts. Both artists have graced the PHASES catalog before, each bringing their distinctive medicine to our collective journey. Now, for the first time, they arrive together—not as parallel voices, but as one.

The Honey Hidden in Every Threshold
“Let It Be Sweet” carries the quiet wisdom woven through life’s initiations. It holds the understanding that challenge and transformation are inevitable, yet poses a tender question: What if even the hard moments could be sweet? What if, in the very midst of upheaval, we could zoom out and feel the larger arc of our becoming?
This is an invocation to trust the path. To soften into the mystery. To taste the honey hidden inside every threshold we cross.
The artwork speaks this same language—a crowned figure, face dissolved into cosmos, flowing hair cascading like rivers of light through an endless night sky. Moon phases frame the composition, marking time’s passage and the cycles we all move through. The figure’s face holds no features, only stars and crescent moons—suggesting that in moments of deep surrender, we become vessels for something greater than ourselves. The crown reminds us that there is sovereignty in softness, royalty in release.
The result is a sultry, atmospheric electronic track that lives in the intersection of downtempo, house, and R&B-infused electronica—dark, intimate, and deeply textured. Dummy Splash’s Brazilian-rooted grooves provide a foundation both grounding and weightless, while Arula’s hypnotic, emotive vocals drift through the arrangement like incense smoke. Together, they’ve created music for the hours between worlds—when one chapter closes and another waits to begin.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do ⏾.
