Tasmanian producer Akouo has played it smart, teaming up with one of Australia’s most exciting, dynamic vocalists Montaigne for his new single “Feel That.” Her voice is just sublime, and her passionate performance on this gives the track real heart which is often missing in the electronic genre.
Montaigne doesn’t just sing on the track; she’s also responsible for its lyrics.
“It’s a rare occurrence to have a chance to work with people who are rich in artistic ability but also have a strong passion for the entire creative process from start to finish,” Akouo explained. “True to the nature of art, the lyrics came to Montaigne very quickly and naturally, but it took months to wrap them carefully into this cosy blanket of sound that we both love. ‘Feel That’ is about a yearning for love, and the hopeful uncertainty that comes with it.”
Do you think Akouo and Montaigne have a hit on their hands?
