“‘Downtown‘ is a club-inspired record with a bouncy beat drop and a pulsing bassline that support powerful vocals from Kelvin Jones. We wanted to capture the magic of the perfect night in the city. You’re with your friends, the club’s bass is beating through your blood, your legs are sore from dancing all night, you feel invincible.” – R3HAB

“‘Downtown‘ is a mood in a song! We imagined how it would feel to be in New York cruising downtown in a Cadillac and what song you’d want to hear. This inspired the whole song. In an era where every song is overloaded with things going on, we decided to go against that and keep it as minimal and laid back as we could whilst still keeping the groove going.” – Kelvin Jones

“I used to picture love out of a magazine, But that was the old me” told Phrazer recalls a time when he thought life and love was something happening in the virtual realm. That’s until he has a life-changing encounter in the real world: “When I laid my eyes on you / Saw the other point of view / Things I used to see right through,” he sings, realizing that all the material values such as a big house, a fast car, and sapphire rings don’t matter anymore: “It’s the little things / You got the little things.”

“Since we were severely restricted by Corona Virus, like all of us, we realized just how important the most normal and smallest things can be,” Kush Kush share. “For us, this includes seeing our loved ones or simply sitting down in a café. That was one of the inspirations for the song – reflecting on how well we were doing and that life is not always about the big things. With this song, we want to do contribute our small share in finding back to normalcy.”

The track was created last summer, but there’s no negative vibes from the pandemic here. It all started on a zoom session with the Canada-based songwriter Faouzia (John Legend, David Guetta, Kelly Clarkson etc.), followed by several online sessions with the songwriter Autumn Rowe (Dua Lipa, Ava Max, Pitbull, Leona Lewis etc.) before Isak Heim added the final touches and a killer lead vocal. This was Rat City’s first time starting a track via Zoom, something that became a necessity for many writers over the last 18 months, and they describe the process as “unique, and surprisingly a lot of fun!”.

The story of CPH kicks off with feelings of anxiety and self-doubt, before throwing off the past and discovering her own self, trusted female companions and the vibrancy of the beautiful city in which she’s living.

CPH’s seductive arrangement was put together by multi-instrumentalist and producer Justin Glasco, who Monica trusts implicitly, and it showcases her silky smooth vocals perfectly. For mixing, it was over to Grammy winner Ryan Gilligan (Kanye West & Puerto Rican duo Calle 13) with the record’s final touches being down to female mastering engineer Jett Galindo, who’s worked on a wide range of projects and artists including the La La Land OST, Weezer, plus Lo-Fi Soul artist Hayley Reinhart.

Monica says of the release “CPH is about the trip that tied up my adolescence with a bow and launched me into womanhood. It’s an ode to the ending of what felt like the first chapter in my life”. When I play it now, I can still feel the freedom in its lines from the day I wrote it alone in that little Danish apartment”.

Opening with Spanish guitar, ‘One You Need’ quickly blossoms into a radiant cocktail of summer sun melodies, infectious island vibes and Latin American percussion. JAEL’s topline only swells that uplifting atmosphere, her voice brimming with sweet soul, while Vadi’s reggaeton rap further fuels the fiery atmosphere.

“This song really came out of nowhere,” says Club Mango. “We were jamming in the living room on the guitar after a few tequilas and then it kind of just grew from there. The track was done but we felt that getting some more Latin flavour in there could take it to the next level. So we hit up Vadi to see if he could feature on it and luckily he was up for it.”

Vadi added, “Working on this song has been a great experience. I’ve always wanted to collaborate with an English speaking artist. I connected so well with the vibe of the song that I found the inspiration for the lyrics straight away, and in less than half an hour I had them written and recorded.”

‘One You Need’ was then completed with mixing courtesy of Rob Chiarelli. A multiple Grammy Award winner, Chiarelli’s talents have graced tracks from iconic artists including Quincy Jones, Christina Aguilera and Will Smith.

“Pikete” tells the story of a woman who seems unattainable because of her beauty and attitude.

It is not the first time that Nicky Jam and El Alfa do “magic” in the studio. Songs such as “Nadie como tú” “Segueta remix” and “A correr los Lakers“ have united them at a professional level, however, the last interview that Nicky Jam made with El Alfa, through his own talk show “The Rockstar Show.”

While the track drips in confidence, “Shit I Like” was born out of a moment of anxiety and self doubt that Gwyn Love converted into an empowering anthem to lift others out of the fog. “I really needed this song when I wrote it,” she says. “We all have to be reminded sometimes that it’s okay to take a break from everything and just do shit that you enjoy and makes you feel in tune with yourself.” she says.

Continues to say: “I was in Vancouver, my first time out of the United States, all by myself, recording music. I felt extremely stressed because I didn’t feel I was performing as I knew I could in the session that day. I went to my airbnb and sat on the couch and started thinking of things I could do to relax and take some of the pressure off so I would feel more like myself and perform better the next day. It’s a reminder to me that no matter how stressed I get, there are skills I have learned that help me not go overboard with stressing. It’s okay to sit back and let yourself unwind every so often, it’s actually very much needed. My boi La+ch’s production on this song really brought it all together and made it the “dance in your room by yourself” song that I really wanted it to be.”
