HERMITUDE DELIVER NEW SINGLE “JANELA" (FEAT. KIMBRA)”
OUT NOW VIA ELEPHANT TRAKS/NETTWORK RECORDS
TRACK SET TO PREMIERE ON POLLYANARCHY (DELUXE) RELEASE COMING NOVEMBER 13 - PRE ORDER HERE
Hermitude has been releasing dance-floor bangers after dance-floor bangers for some time now, and we’ve come to know they bring the heat with every release, so it comes as no surprise that “Janela (feat. Kimbra)” would be any different, and it’s not. The Australian duo of El Gusto and Luke Dubs that we know and love as Hermitude have yet again delivered another track on fire, a soulful R&B jam infused with jazz and the unique electronic touch that gives Hermitude tracks that one of a kind sound. “Janela (feat. Kimbra)” premiered yesterday October 8 in Flood Magazine and is out worldwide today October 9 via Elefant Traks / Nettwork Records. The single is set to premiere on their recently announced new album Pollyanarchy (Deluxe), which is a reissue of their 2019 album release and is due out November 13.
To get the vibe of the track just right Hermitude knew they needed to collaborate with someone who could deliver the range and vibe they needed, and teaming up with pop/R&B mainstay Kimbra was the perfect fit. Born in New Zealand, singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and model Kimbra brings warm jazz-infused vocals and a vibe that compliments the track.
“‘Janela’ is a tune we had written at our studio in Sydney but could never find right the vocalist. It wasn’t until we went to Brooklyn, New York last year to take part in an APRA writing camnp that ‘Janela’ came into its own, thanks to the prowess of Kimbra,” says Hermitude. “We played her the beat and she instantly gelled with it, humming melodies along with it straight away. It was quite a personal song for her and we could tell by the emotion she was putting into the microphone. We felt like we got something really special that day.”
Pollyanarchy (Deluxe) will feature a multitude of unreleased tracks in collaboration with Drew Love (They), Kameron Alexander, and the recent single “Spotlight” featuring Daniel Bedingfield. When the album released last year, Pollyanarchy climbed straight to the top to sit at the #6 spot on the ARIA charts and it also featured as triple' j’s album of the week with the duo bringing putting forth main stage banger collaborations with Buddy & BJ The Chicago Kid, Vic Mensa, Bibi Bourelly, Electric Fields and Haiku Hands. The album will be available as a limited edition four-track vinyl, and you can pre-order Pollyanarchy (Deluxe) here.
