Personal toplines: Mark Klaver returns to his roots with new album ‘Feelings & Toplines’

The 17-Track album blends Singer-Songwriter raw emotion with Electronic Pop, Dance Pop, and Future Bass

Acquired tastes, personal breakthroughs, and raw emotion take centre stage as New York-based singer-songwriter Mark Klaver officially releases his landmark 17-track album, Feelings & Toplines, which is now available across all major streaming platforms. 

Marking a major artistic shift, the expansive body of work sees Klaver returning to his roots as a lyricist after years of writing primarily for EDM labels. Inspired by Brandon Sanderson’s famous “secret projects,” Klaver unearthed deeply personal toplines originally written for electronic records that were previously shelved, either because they were too personal or didn’t fit commercial label directions at the time, and brought them to life alongside brand-new compositions.

Technically and sonically, Feelings & Toplines is an intricate synthesis of acoustic vulnerability and polished electronic soundscapes. Across its 17 tracks, the project spans bright tropical dance grooves, high-energy dance-pop, future bass, and synth-driven ballads. Tracks like “Centuries” weave bright, tropical-inspired dance arrangements with underlying emotional weight, while “Helpless” delivers infectious commercial pop driven by pulsing rhythms and themes of falling helplessly in love. Dynamic balance is further highlighted in records like “‘Til I Was Loving You,” built on driving, dance-floor-ready hooks, and “Calling Out Your Name,” a powerful emotional ballad that builds into a sweeping electronic drop.
