Toronto R&B singer-songwriter Lydia Persaud has released a new single "I Got You" from her upcoming album Moody31, out April 29 via Next Door Records.
Speaking about the song in a press release, the Dwayne Gretzky member said: "It's got a bounce to it and was also strangely written with no one specific in mind. [It's] a song about rekindling a long-standing love, written while happily single."
She added:
While recording this tune with Scott [McCannell], Chino de Villa, and Ben McDonald, the tempo started to slip back and "I Got You" started to become a slow jam. I always had this slightly Motown dream for it, like a low-key Supremes moment, but the guys joked and said that they didn't play tunes faster than 94 bpm.
Speaking about Moody31 in a press release, Persaud said: "I hope Moody31 celebrates and validates the human experience in all its contradictions: how new love can be experienced alongside deep loss, how one can crave solitude and connection, simultaneously. It's beautiful to embrace all of our moods — it's living."
In April, Persaud will join Omhouse, Robin Hatch and DJ Coldboi in performing at one of Toronto's upcoming free concerts at The Baby G. Find more details on that here.
