Jayda G returns with new single ‘Feeling Alive’.
The DJ and producer hosted a special party in London last night, performing in a bona fide roller disco. It was a thrilling, retro-tinged move, but one that displayed her zest for life, and appetite for fun – few do it like Jayda does it.
Recent single ‘Guy’ reset the dials, with new release ‘Feeling Alive’ embracing euphoria. Just right for the summer sun, it finds a way to shed negative emotions, revelling in the pure positivity oath everyday.
“’Guy’ was really me exploring and, you know, pushing my sound to the next level,” she explains. “‘Feeling Alive’ is me kind of taking that into a real pure dance music form. Knowing that my album was largely about loss and grief and death, this is me focussing on the joyful celebratory part of my life, because I know I have a lot of things to be happy for!”
Jayda G constructed the track alongside Sam Knowles AKA Karma Kid and BazKaye. She recalls:
“We were just sitting in the studio working together, and I was very conscious of just wanting to focus on how good life can be, and how I really want my music to emulate that this time around. We talked a lot about different times in our lives when we were feeling really good and positive about life, and I started telling them this story from when I was living in LA, and I was driving down Sunset Boulevard late at night, seeing all the lights and everything going on, and how I just felt just really alive at that time. That’s how we hit on that tagline of “feeling alive” which helped form the sentiment of the whole track.”
Tune in now.
