Following on from the release of the much loved ‘Turning’ single, which received international blog and radio support, as well as placement of Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist, Berlin based producer and artist J.Lamotta shares the next offering from her forthcoming sophomore album ‘Suzume’. The ‘Back In Town’ single and video, via Jakarta Records.
Reflecting on her family roots, the video is shot in Morocco, where J.Lamotta‘s lineage follows prior to growing up in Tel Aviv. The single is a heartfelt reflection of her musical background and is rich in elements of textured percussion, brooding horns, jazz influenced keys and J.Lamotta‘s storytelling.
“I didn’t plan to put ‘Back In Town’ on this album. I always liked playing this song but also thought it might sound too “jazzy” for this album. A few weeks before our recording session, my band and I hung out after a gig and they told me they think we should record it in the studio. Suddenly I realized I shouldn’t be ashamed of my musical background, the same way no one should feel ashamed of their heritage.” –J.Lamotta
‘Suzume’ was recorded across four different studios in Berlin, involving 24 musicians from all around the globe. In contrast to 2017’s ‘Conscious Tree’ album, which was made using found sounds and samplers, the new album sees J.Lamotta expanding her production repertoire by crafting a warm body of sound, laced with live strings and a horn section provided by her band which have toured together from Berlin to South Korea and Japan over the past three years.
‘Suzume’ will be released on vinyl, CD and digital formats in via Jakarta Records and features artwork created by Simone Cihlar (Anderson .Paak, Tom Misch and more).
