Lincoln Jesser kicks off new CONGO label
May 22, 2017
California-based producer Lincoln Jesser has made his Congo Records, a sub-label of Spinnin’ Records, debut with his latest single 'Somebody Will', co-written by Maty Koyes (featured on Kygo’s 'Stay'). It's a feel good summery single featuring luscious vocals from LA born & raised, Filipino/Korean/Swedish vocalist Gabrielle Current.
The pair team up for a breezy pop/electronic number that floats effortlessly along a bouncy bass line and guitar rifts that will soothe your ears as you reflect on love and life. It's the first release on Spinnin's sub-label CONGO Records, an outlet created to release great recordings and songs by talented artists that have their own unique take on pop music. As musical styles continue to blend, CONGO’s intent is to be less focused on genre specific releases and more focused on artists and recordings that stand-out.
Lincoln Jesser shares, “‘Somebody Will’ went on a multi-year journey before it was finally finished, and I love the final form it's taken...Maty Noyes and Gabrielle are both incredibly talented, and our collective energies turned this song into something special that really resonates for me. It's a song about the state of self as well as the state of the world...things can get dark, but you have to keep faith that there is always another light ahead. That faith usually manifests into reality, if you let it. So excited to share the way that thought makes me feel, with you.”
