With the release of his sophomore album ‘Red Eye Home’ just around the corner, Jai Wolf has given us another taste of what to expect with his latest single ‘Water Sign’. Featuring vocals from British singer-songwriter and producer Aluna, ‘Water Sign’ is a euphoric track about protection and support.
With gentle atmospherics floating around Aluna’s soft vocals, buzzing synths slowly build and the track become more powerful as the beat rises. As the chorus drops, a refreshing splash of chopped vocal samples scatter themselves across a pool of vibrant synths, and the atmospherics begin to warp themselves throughout the melody, tying every element together.
“When I first met Aluna, we actually didn’t write any music for the entire session and just chatted for 6 hours getting to know each other. In that time, I learned she was a water sign, just like me (she’s a Cancer and I’m a Scorpio). It felt like a fun and original concept to explore in our songwriting. Sonically, I challenged Aluna and myself to create a groove and mood that felt otherworldly in comparison to our usual sonic palettes. We are proud to present our song ‘Water Sign’ for the world to hear!” – Jai Wolf
