Roosevelt unveils first track of 2020 "Sign"
Roosevelt is back with his first single of the year, "Sign".
"Sign" is the first new outing from Roosevelt since covering Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere" and releasing his own "Falling Back" single last year.
Roosevelt, aka Marius Lauber, says of his latest single, "I wanted to make something intimate, so I started with these spherical Juno 60 chords. When I added rhythmical elements, I realised that the track could work in a dance music world - I normally record a lot of real drums but stripped this one back to just an 808 beat. A nice contrast between the intimate feeling of the synth and the dancefloor qualities of the vocal sample, bass line and 808 started to emerge. I found it really inspiring to make something that’s initially made for listening alone on your headphones, but that hopefully can come alive in the near future when played out at a dance club or festival and create a form of unity again."
He's yet to follow up his 2018 second album Young Romance.
