Loretta, the moniker of Australian producer Mitchell Walker, has come through with a darkened and haunting release titled ‘what you need’, a cross-genre offering filled with gripping instrumentation and intensified energy that shatters the mix to its core.
‘what you need’ soars incredibly high across various facets of the release, such as the spellbinding vocals that swirl across the top of the mix and the accompanying gospel vocal sample which elevates the mix to extraordinary heights. This is matched with an insertion of power from the foundations through those penetrating beats and booming bass lines that add further depth to the already packed in production on offer.
”What You Need’ came from a place of connection. The world is feeling a little chaotic for many at the moment & I’ve always tried to emphasise the importance of genuine connections in our personal worlds. Sometimes that involves having hard conversations & being honest with those around us. Vulnerability can feel risky, but it can build bridges. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is be honest about “what you need”.
The gospel vocal sample felt spiritual to me. I wanted the track to move people emotionally & physically — high-energy house & garage grooves that still hold something tender underneath. It’s a dance record, but it’s got heart. “What You Need” marks a bold step into a new era of rhythmic romance & electrified energy.” ~ loretta
