Despite coming from the not so sunny Bristol, deep house duo BLONDE, produce summer vibing beats that make you feel like a poolside cocktail is in order. The duo have teamed up with KAREN HARDING to release ‘Feel Good (It’s Alright)’ and have launched a Video taking you straight to the party in Rio de Janeiro.
Like all good modern romances Jacob Mandon and Adam Englefield (of Eton Messy infamy) met online before they came to form Blonde. Their tracks often feature strong, soulful vocalists who have established careers in their own right, but seamlessly collaborate with the duo. Insert Karen Harding who released her debut track earlier this year to raging success. She transforms herself between pop R’n’B and house music flawlessly, proving her worth as both a vocalist and songwriter.
Like Blonde’s previous releases ‘Feel Good (It’s Alright)’ is unapologetically a party starting, summer feeling, track. The track features a robust bassline, euphoric beats and a soulful, but house influenced piano line.
The clip takes you on a journey like a local in Rio. There is a summer romance, beach side antics, poolside parties, urban landscapes and beautiful, beautiful people dancing to the beat. The clip isn’t all fun and games though; there is some element of pained lovers and a hint to the crime prevalent in the beautiful city. It alludes to the underground influences of Blonde, despite their deep house façade.
If you are increasing need of some summer vibes ‘Feel Good (It’s Alright)’ is out now on iTunes.
