No Place (song)

"No Place" is a song by Australian alternative dance group Rüfüs Du Sol. The song was released on 25 May 2018 as the lead single from the group's third studio album Solace. It is also the first release after the group's formal name change to Rüfüs Du Sol, which they previously went by in North America only.[2] The group said: "'No Place' is the first piece of music from an album we've been working on solidly for over a year now. It took about a year to find the song we felt right about as the first piece of music from this record. We knew as soon as we heard it come out of the speakers that this was how we wanted to greet people this time around. It feels good to be back."[3]

Reception

Jackson Langford from Music Feeds said "No Place" "is a glorious return to form for the Sydney trio, complete with silky smooth vocals, infectious bass drops and an overall summery feel that they've become the master of."[1] Ryan Middleton from Magnetic Mag said ""No Place" has the Rüfüs Du Sol sound that they have honed over their last two albums", adding "it also has a darker, clubbier side to it with some booming horns and melancholic strings. However, their jogging percussion and soothing melodies has everything fans will want."[5] Kat Bein from Billboard described the song as "a haunting, ethereal groove that's infectiously melodic with a slight tinge of eeriness."[3] In a review of the album, David from auspOp said "'No Place' was chosen as the lead single for good reason. Its hypnotic rhythms paired with catchy hooks and great sonic layering make it a brilliant moment on this album."[6]
