‘Dark’ focuses around Greentea Peng’s haunting neo-soul vocal, deep diving into the south London singer’s struggles with mental health. Coupled with a score that wouldn’t be out of place on an Indie thriller soundtrack, the single really creates the vision reflected in its title.
Discussing the track, James said; “It was a pleasure to work with one of our favourite new artists, Greentea Peng, on Dark. This is something a bit different from us after a chance meeting with her through the graffiti legend Drax. This track came together so effortlessly, her writing was beautiful and she nailed the vocal in one take!”
Goldie followed up with; “I think Greentea Peng is a cutting edge artist. The track is a beauty and really coherent and relevant with young people’s mental health these days. We just went in and went deep on the soundtrack to make it really riveting.”
The album, which features some incredibly exciting and varied names including nu-jazz staple staple Tom Misch (on ‘Lost’ alongside Frida Touray), American jazz & soul vocalist Lady Blackbird (on ‘Sunlight’) and British blues vocalist Natalie Duncan, shows off both the rich history and calibre of Goldie and James Davidson’s individually but also how they can create something together that’s so cohesive and forward thinking. The sound the duo have been able to create is also partly due to their geographical locations over the past 18 months, bouncing ideas between Davidson’s studio in Bournemouth on the south coast and Goldie’s house in Phuket, Thailand; showing two songwriters and producers at the top of their game responding to a year and a half in very different atmospheres but similar trying circumstances.
Lead single from the album ‘Dassai Menace’ (released with double A-side ‘Fathoms’) was picked up by Virgil Abloh who used it to soundtrack his Louis Vuitton SS22 fashion film ‘Amen Break’ (watch here), with Goldie walking in the accompanying catwalk show. Goldie will also be in residence throughout the month of February 2022 on BBC Radio 1 alongside the likes of world renown DJ’s Sama’ Abdulhadi, Folamour, Or:la, LCY and Scratcha DVA.
‘The Start of No Regret’ will be available on all digital platforms, as well as CD and double vinyl.
