Henry Green - Outside

Bristol-based electronic artist and producer Henry Green returns yet again this year with a blissful display of dance-inspired goodness in his new single ‘Outside’, a track that encompasses a significant amount of groove and uplift that is sure to lift your spirit immensely.

‘Outside’ rises from the ground floor with a subtle insertion of groove amongst the hypnotic vocal loop that injects an optimism and sense of wonder amongst the soundscape, all while Green continues to build the suspense and vibrancy of the release. As we see more of a grooving presence from the beats, we are met with more and more dance influence with keys and synths coming to the forefront to bring plenty of energy and passion into the inviting mix on offer.

“I remember writing the original sketch for Outside, during one of the many lockdowns here in the UK. I knew that, when writing the original chord progression, I wanted to work with a sample rather than my own vocal. It felt serendipitous the way that the sample was found. I stumbled across a recording of David Ruffin of The Temptations on my laptop. I’d seemingly downloaded it years prior to sample and that line ‘I want to go outside’ lined up almost perfectly as I was searching through my files. Obviously, the literal meaning resonated during that period of confinement, but it also resonated so strongly given the mental space I was in, and the desperation I was feeling to escape my own internal dialogue.” – Henry Green
