about

First cut on this single is the chilled poolside instrumental jazz tune “Parallel Dreams”. The dense brass arrangement growing out of hazy synths and a lush organic/electronic nu-jazz sound, leads the themes and solos deep into dreamland. Carsten Skov on vibraphone, Bo Rande on Flugelhorn, Lukas Rande on flute and saxophone, AC Woodman on Wurlitzer piano and Jiyu producer, Emil Jonathan Søegaard on guitar.
Second cut is a late night, lazy-bar ballad “Some Things Never Change”, sung by Danish/Senegalese artist Kinck. Here the Copenhagen based Jazz-hybrid collective mixes elements of the contemporary electronic beat scene with dusty brushes-layers, horn arrangements, upright bass and dreamy Jazz guitar. Kinck is at her favorite bar, lights down low, asking for more ice… a long-awaited scenery! Anyways, this is a strong follow up to the Jiyu single “So Many Moons to Go” from January (also featuring Kinck), which got 170,000 plays on an Apple Music playlist, during the first couple of months of release! Also the single “King of Mañana” has made it to some serious jazz playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, and we are so thankful that people are listening! Stay Tuned! a full-length vinyl and digital album is out in the beginning of June!
