"Intimate Yell by Courtesy: Exploring depths of house music for nighttime listening"
In the world of music, Danish DJ and producer Courtesy is making waves with the impending release of their second album, "intimate yell." The album, set for release on October 24th, promises a captivating blend of contemporary dance music and the classic 80s Chicago sound.
The album's central elements are studio drum machines and synths, which create a rhythmic backdrop for a diverse array of collaborations. Prominent among these collaborators is German singer Lyanne, whose vocal contributions bear a striking resemblance to Björk's on the track "Let there be LOVE!".
Other notable collaborators include contemporary artist Sofia Defino Leiby, who lends her lyrical talents to the album. French singer Klō adds a soulful touch to the minimalist track "My Dazed Friend." The album also features lyrical contributions from author Lucia Odoom and touching poetry from art critic Geoffrey Mak.
The album is not just an audio experience but an audio-visual project. German-Italian photographer Laura Schaeffer has worked with Courtesy on a two-part 12-minute video collage connected to the music of the album. This collage, along with the album's release, will be available for viewers to enjoy.
The collaborative nature of "intimate yell" serves as a testament to the power of collaboration in fueling creativity. The album reaffirms that classic house music never goes out of style, while also incorporating modern elements to create a fresh and exciting sound.
Vocalists on the album add a much-needed human touch to today's dance music, making "intimate yell" a must-listen for fans of the genre. With its catchy beats, evocative lyrics, and stunning visuals, this album is sure to be a standout in Courtesy's discography.
