Cologne based synth-pop/disco singer, songwriter and producer Marius Lauber aka Roosevelt, has premiered his new single “Ordinary Love“.
The song, a glimpse at the euphoric yet tentative first steps of a new romance, it’s Roosevelt’s first release after signing with new label Counter Records/Ninja Tune.
Commenting on the track, Roosevelt said:
“Ordinary Love was written in LA last summer in an isolated cabin in Elysian Heights. I worked on a demo that I initially called ‘Wall Of Sound’, putting a ton of synth layers together – I wanted to create some kind of urgency, that resembles the euphoria of a new love, with all its bliss, but also the uncertainty that comes with it. The idea of the sound of the sirens, played on a vintage Prophet 5, came when I wanted to create an underlying feeling of instability. It worked out as a great contrast to the melodic chords, as there’s always a slight disharmony going on throughout the track.”
“It’s a huge honor to be releasing on Ninja Tune, which always has been a favorite of mine. It felt like a no-brainer to me – a lot of other artists and producers that I know and am a fan of are working with the label and their crossover approach on Counter between the pop and electronic world feels like a great fit for my project.” He added.
