Kaskade revisits ‘Eyes’ on tasteful ‘Fire + Ice v3’ conversion featuring Ella Vos

Fire + Ice v3 came not with the possibility of an “Eyes” recasting, but rather with the promise of one. The “v3” edition of the time-honored Fire & Ice tracklisting now arrives as the eighth single in the remake album’s rollout, trailing “Turn It Down v3,” “Lessons In Love v3,” and “ICE v3,” “How Long v3,” “Let Me Go v3,” “Llove v3,” and “Room for Happiness v3.”

One of Fire & Ice‘s most-lauded inclusions that, over the years, has also become one of Kaskade‘s classics, “Eyes v3” enlists the vocal talents of Ella Vos, who previously lent her pipes to Kaskade’s “Miles To Go” from his Reset EP, released via Monstercat Silk in March 2021. Vos tastefully stands in for Mindy Gledhill, contributing to a conversion that, before its breakdowns, sonically evokes the feel of Arkade Destinations Iceland. By stepping away from “Eyes'” main stage trappings and leaning instead into a synth-led nature that amplifies the cut’s emotive character, Kaskade crafts a complementary companion to one of his most celebrated staples.
