Singapore-based electronic artist Eve Alai teams up with UK based artist Arjun Ratwatte and Sri Lankan producer Madaid on the laid-back jam “Summer”—out on all digital platforms worldwide this 26 Feb 2021 via Umami Records.
A much-welcomed departure from Eve Alai’s deep house numbers, “Summer” strikes gold with the sound of California sunset coasting through fizzy, retro-funk arrangements and feel-good tropical vibes.
By now, it’s clear that Eve Alai wants to concoct the perfect summer anthem for long drives, and on his latest track, he achieves this feat by writing an earworm of a hook around Warren G’s beloved classic ‘Regulate,’ and infusing guitar chords to the mix. The acclaimed producer adds, “I wrote the first verse, then the chorus and immediately had Arjun in mind so we got talking about collaborating on the track. He wrote the second verse and the writing was complete, but I felt that the production was missing the last bit of oomph it needed.”
