Get ready for that one anthem which will ignite your Friday.
Summer just got a whole lot cooler. Out today is the unexpected, yet highly successful pairing of Shallou and Night Tales. The three minds have cooked up a Disco House gem titled ‘I Just Wanted to Dance‘, and it is a sneak peek into Shallou’s forthcoming EP, 24, summer. The project will be a retrospective of the music he made this summer, inspired by the feelings of the season.
Hailing from Washington, D.C., and now based in Los Angeles, Shallou has become a Dance luminary. From humble dorm room beginnings, he’s graced stages like Coachella and Lollapalooza, collaborating with artists like Daya, Elderbrook, and Bob Moses. His music is a blend of heart-wrenching vocals and infectious House beats.
Over on the other side of the collab, Night Tales, the duo with a global fanbase, bring a fresh perspective to Electronic music. Their sound has captivated audiences worldwide. After their debut album, Proof, and hits like ‘Only If‘, they’ve headlined festivals, toured Europe, and even made their Coachella debut.
‘I Just Wanted to Dance’
Melting together sonic influences from the 70s with a feel-good, piano-driven bassline, this Disco House anthem invites its audience on an imaginative and exploratory adventure as both artists depart from their signature sound. The track does a great job of pairing yesteryear’s nostalgic sounds with today’s production techniques. Carefree, energetic, and unforgettable. ‘I Just Wanted to Dance‘ is the beginning of what promises to be a hot summer for both artists.
Shallou commented he and Night Tales had met up to brainstorm some ideas. They had created a track that combined their styles well, but with the session winding down, he was tired and unsure if they would produce anything further. However, he started experimenting with piano and gospel vocals, and together they developed a simple drop with vocal chops and House grooves.
“This type of song is a little outside both mine and Night Tales’ wheelhouse, but we are both super influenced by old school house and agreed that this track captures that feeling.”
-Shallou
Whereas Night Tales admit, “We wanted to make a Dance track that would unite people together without the allure of deep, lyric-heavy vocals. Our goal is for listeners to feel the intention immediately, through the sonic atmosphere and instrumentation, allowing themselves to get lost in feeling“.
