After getting the brief for this track, Theo immediately called me and said excitedly “I can’t stop thinking about conga!” Not knowing if that was related to the track or if there was some underlying psychological issue, I went with it and - long story short - this was made.
We knew that we wanted to subvert the traditional approach to songs like this - upbeat tunes tend to mean straightforward love stories or pure party scenes. Not quite our style, and not the best promo approach when you want to stand out as a band. Without giving too much away, that was taken and twisted into something a bit more…intense.
The band was as excited as we were to try a different approach, so the collaboration from day 1 was excellent. Plus, not every musician is willing to aggressively conga for their music but that extra effort shows: this video was featured all over the place and the genre change half way through was widely appreciated for breaking the norm.
