"To prime listeners, Black Box is pleased to announce 'Can't Sleep,' the title track and their most in-demand dubplate. The track opens in classic Kryptic Minds style, with moody strings and synths setting the vibe before the entrance of vocalist Alys Blaze -- her powerful voice belying the fragility of the lyrics, her vocals circling like a moth around some unseen flame. Coupled with the sheer force of the crisp beats and truly thunderous bass, 'Can't Sleep' is both a powerful modern anthem and a tender song of heartbreak. To accompany the original track, Berlin-based sound designer and Ninja Tunes' hottest signing Emika has provided not a remix, but a reinterpretation and response. 'Make You Sleep' inverts the mood and aesthetic of the original, creating instead a low-slung anti-love song, full of quiet menace and veiled eroticism -- all delicately poised over Emika's sultry late-night beats."
