SYLVAINE Shares New Song Collaboration with CARPENTER BRUT

SYLVAINE comments on the collaboration: “Working with Carpenter Brut was a very inspiring collaborative experience, allowing me to explore some musical territories I hadn’t been much within before. Having a lot of creative freedom on the track, I decided to work with the duality between very legato, almost ghostly sounding vocal lines, along with more rhythmic, strict background vocals towards the end. I had so much fun working on this track, both lyrically and vocally speaking, and feel very grateful to have been part of such a killer project, alongside so many incredible musicians. Do yourself a favour and give this record a spin”
