New Song "Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year)" Out Now
Our Cover Version of the Anita Baker Classic is Available to Stream or Purchase Wherever You Listen to Music
Hello Friends,
The new lovetempo single, “Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year)” is here! You can listen to it now (or purchase an mp3) on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube, or wherever else you listen to music!
Anita Baker is one of my favorite artists. Her unique voice left a strong impression on me as a child—I used to love to sing along whenever “Sweet Love” would come on the radio, and I still love listening to her music.
This cover was a happy accident, I was messing around in the studio and found myself playing the chord changes, but with a different groove than the original. I ran with it, quickly cooked up the instrumental, and then reached out to my good friend Prince Terrence about singing on it. I knew that he was also an Anita fan, and, among his many talents, he possesses a sweet falsetto that I knew would be perfect for this version of the song. I couldn’t be happier with how this came out, I hope that you enjoy it!
Record Release Show in Brooklyn, Nov 9
To celebrate the release, we will be performing at our beloved Sultan Room on November 9, opening up for soul singer Alanna Royale. As a special treat, we’ll be playing the new song live at the show with Prince Terrence on vocals. It’s a stacked lineup, get your tickets today.
Thanks for reading! I hope that you enjoy the new song, if you do, please share it with a fellow music-loving friend and help spread the word.
Love(tempo),
Mattie
P.S. Today is also Bandcamp Friday (which I’ve written about before), so it’s also a great day to purchase a t-shirt, pin, or vinyl copy of our debut record over on Bandcamp.
