A stellar package already found in the record bags of Gilles Peterson, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, François K, and more…
New York City’s Jennifer Vanilla, aka Jennifer Vanilla and Brian Abelson, offered a portal into a colourful world of innovative electronic sound with their 2022 debut album ‘Castle In The Sky’, traversing new wave, post-punk, art pop, and experimental R&B. Now Love Injection, the multi-faceted brainchild of Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele comprising a print magazine, radio show, record label, and production duo breathe new life into one of the album’s standout tracks ‘Jennifer Pastoral’ on home turf, in the form of a 12” single alongside two ethereal mixes featuring maestros Dave Darlington on mixing duties and Francois Kevorkian as mastering engineer.
Love Injection‘s Earthly Mix of ‘Jennifer Pastoral’ is a sublime seven-minute deep house odyssey with neon keys from ‘Conclave’ frontman and close friend Toribio and a sprinkling of organic percussion that harks back to the likes of François K and Pal Joey but with Vanilla‘s sensuous vocals soaring up top, alongside co-vocalist and co-writer Elsa Brown. The duo’s Celestial Mix of ‘Jennifer Pastoral’ is more of a late-night lullaby – a soothing comedown with widescreen pads and layers of percussion that bubble along on expansive synths. The original version of ‘Jennifer Pastoral’ is a freewheeling electronic rhythm reminiscent of Will Powers with robust drums but funky riffs, lavish pop vocals and cosmic warmth.
A standout package of love-filled and future-facing electronic sound, Jennifer Vanilla ‘Jennifer Pastoral’ drops via Love Injection Records on 15th March 2024.
