Pastel releases groovy new single 'Daylight', listen to it here

April 30, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Indie, Indie Pop, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Pastel has a brand new song out that we can’t get enough of. Titled ‘Daylight’, the new single showcases a groovy drum track over crisp, polished vocals. All-in-all, the production feels vibrant and uplifting which makes it the perfect “pick-me-up” for any day of the week. Here’s what Pastel has to say:

“The process of creating Daylight was actually pretty fast and the funny fact is, Ben and I made it the day we met”, Pastel commented. “Ben was studying in London and we got in touch through a mutual friend in Camden, from Nashville. It started more like a jam at the beginning – I was playing a few chords, Ben came up with the solos behind and then I found the guitar lead. We actually sang the song that day and finished the instrumental later in the week by adding some more layers and some choir vocals to lift the harmonies. It really was a case of spontaneity fuelling creativity!”

For anyone looking to relax, ‘Daylight’ is an exceptional record from the inside out. Interested in hearing more? Don’t forget to connect with Pastel online to stay up to date on his forthcoming EP ‘Cereal’, which is scheduled for release this June.
