Japan’s AmPm team up with up-and-comer RAENE on new single
Having debuted in 2017 with the hit single ‘Best Part of Us,’ Japanese masked production unit AmPm has won fans worldwide.
AmPm has released ‘Sweet Escape feat. RAENE’, the sixth advance release from their upcoming album themed on global travel – this time set in Amsterdam.
The single is a collaboration with RAENE, a singer and songwriter based in London, England. Fusing an R&B base with elements of alternative pop, this acclaimed up-and-coming artist was featured in BBC Introducing’s “Top 25 Most Played Artists of 2020”.
The lyrics express RAENE’s experience of visiting Amsterdam, a city steeped in dance music culture, while the music leans into the current drum & bass revival.
‘Sweet Escape’ brilliantly layers RAENE’s sweet and feminine yet strong vocals into a rich and unforgettable melody, creating a track that is both comforting to listen to and endlessly danceable.
