Swiss Electronica Duo Reignite Their Pop Pulse With A Hook That Cuts Deep
listen to the article
On “So Hard,” Pull n Way bring club-ready energy and polished pop sensibility into sharp focus, pairing a confident rhythmic pulse with a sleek electronic finish. The Swiss electronica project of singer-songwriter Mylène Gillian and producer Andy Prinz has built its name on warm, glossy production and a voice that can sound both intimate and widescreen at once. On this new single, that balance feels especially exact. The beat moves with a polished pop bounce, the synths glow rather than glare, and Mylène’s vocals sit right at the centre, soft-edged but sure of themselves.
With UK songwriter Anna Neale credited on the song, “So Hard” takes a simple, painful scenario and gives it the kind of lift that makes heartbreak feel strangely danceable: running into an ex and realising the feeling still lands like a punch. It’s the sort of idea pop has always understood well, but Pull n Way handle it with a little more poise than panic. The song doesn’t wallow. It catches that split second where you think you’re fine, then suddenly you are not fine at all. That emotional snap is what gives the track its voltage.
There’s history behind the gloss. Pull n Way first broke through with radio favourites like “Anything” and “You & Me”, then deepened their profile with the debut album Colours and a run of dance collaborations that carried Mylène’s voice far beyond Switzerland. Her background as a classically trained singer and violinist still lingers in the phrasing; even over sleek electronic production, she sings with a sense of line and breath that feels human and close. Andy Prinz, with decades in Swiss electronic music behind him, gives the song its frame: crisp, modern, and built to travel.
The return also carries real life in its corners. After a long pause, during which Mylène became a mother, Pull n Way have come back with a renewed sense of purpose. There’s no grand statement, no forced reinvention. The result is a pop song that feels lived-in without sounding heavy.
The release’s promotional material reports that “So Hard” has found airplay across dozens of countries, landed on Spotify playlists, and slipped into rotation on Radio Swiss Pop. The song itself is what sticks: immediate, melodic, and built around a hook that arrives fast and stays put.
Pull n Way sound re-energised here, and comfortably in command of their lane. “So Hard” doesn’t chase drama; it finds the ache inside the shimmer and lets it sing.
