Warren Xclnce Remix (Marie Dahlstrom x Emmavie)

Verse I

I’m only playing for keeps
Baby
Darling
Free love’s too expensive
And I’m far too cheap
Ohhh

(I Don’t, I Don’t Want)
Don’t wanna pay the penalty
After letting a fool kiss me
Or a kiss fool me
(Lawd)

Cause earlier kisses are entryways
To open legs
To a civil war on 
Whether to go or stay
After we discover
We don’t know each other
How’d I fall in love with
With a stranger

Argument

Music break

Don’t wanna pay the penalty
(ooooo I don’t want)
	
Cause earlier kisses are entryways
To open legs
To a civil war on 
Whether to go or stay
After we discover
We don’t know each other
How’d I fall in love with
With a stranger

Sleepin Giant is an Amsterdam-based producer who has been bidding his time for over a decade, refining his craft, honing his voice. Purple is his first official release, following a debut appearance on Brussels’ On Point label in 2012 for the Sweet Rendez-Vous remixes.

Purple has been two years in the making, a journey that began with the track Glitch written with NYC-based poet Aja Monet. It was on the strength of this demo that Original Cultures convinced Sleepin Giant to put together a whole EP of his own soul music. Another two vocalists were added to the mix: Bristol’s Romaine Smith, a young singer full of promise who has worked primarily with Typesun, and Amsterdam’s Ruben Hein, signed to Blue Note and one of Holland’s most striking voices.

The music on Purple is soul, plain and simple. It draws from the same spiritual place as the likes of D’Angelo, The Roots, Erikah Badu or Jay Dee - from inside, from the soul. It’s music to fall in love to, music to make love to, music to dream to. On each of the five songs the vocalists recount stories we can all relate to, stories of love, of things past, of things coming. The musical backdrop is stripped down to its bare essentials with an irresistible interplay between drums and bass alongside warm, sultry melodies that compliment the singing.

Purple is to be released on digital and 12” vinyl, featuring cover art inspired by the legendary Ohio Players albums, in mid April. It will be preceeded in late March by a digital single featuring Let’s Get Serious and an alternate version of Hey Girl. In early May remixes from Typesun, Lewis James and EAN will be released digitally along four dancefloor tracks created during the process.

Invitation for Love

From the moment I heard this young lady's voice on the "Elle" album, I knew she was something special. So much so that I tracked her management down on Twitter to see if she'd be interested in possibly working together. I found out from her manager Mildred (Hej, Millie!) that they were actually working on a concert DVD at the time and they were looking to put some remixes on the accompanying CD as bonus tracks. Without hesitation, I jumped at the chance. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish it in time to make it to the retail release, but she has graciously allowed me to share it with you guys. So, here it is. Something sexy for the dancers out there. "In Your Hands"...THE REMIX!!!

To help address her short-term financial needs we're releasing some music ahead schedule. "Get Down" is a reminder that technology can keep us #AloneTogether during this time of social distancing... we're alive in the digital age.

To My SunRaez,

My name is Miranda Rae, and I am a West Palm Beach native. I make music that moves my soul, in hopes to some how move yours. Inspired by the people around me, I challenge myself to create something different than the last song you played. When I first recorded my debut EP, 'Defying Love', I didn't know what to expect. It was literally the first five songs I have ever written. There were no serious edits, no advice on different melodies, just me and pen... well my iPhone of course. This time around, I have decided to release singles all with a different vibe, who said music couldn't be a variety pack? I'm excited to share my experiences with you, and for the journeys we'll endure. 
Thank you for being my muse.

Miranda Rae
