Track: ‘For You & I

Why We Like It: Boasting subtle melodies and moments of elegance that are injected into a vast pool of building electronics, ‘For You & I’ is a well crafted and thoroughly enjoyable tune. This laid back, R&B hued, alternative pop number has a smooth melody that flows over bubbling rhythms and ethereal electronics. The track pivots around the intricate beats as they slap, ripple and pulse while wispy synths create a brooding expansive soundscape. The track is fluid and chilled, with Tierney’s smooth vocals oozing soulful tones.

Featuring a rapid drum assault, resounding guitar shrills and relentless bass grooves, the track is lean, mean and ready to batter your ears with raw rock goodness.

With warm saxophone glowing between a bubbling groove on double bass and soft drum beats, the track exudes vaporous melodies, seductive harmonies, and sultry instrumentation. JaYne’s soulful vocals coo and lull over poignant lyrics, which discuss modern dating and sex culture in an age driven by social media and social status. ‘Ego’ is a beautifully crafted and refined new single.
