WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Boys Noize teams up with ABRA for the second time ahead of the 5th studio album '+/-' (Polarity) with the dark industrial single 'Affection', fusing licks of classic dance and synths with tight contemporary production… ‘Affection’ offers a blueprint for the future sound of the club. ABRA's brooding vocals lay on top of an authentically rich instrumental, with classic drum machine rhythms and dense synth basses, with a hazy nostalgia resonating throughout the track.

“Affection is a story about realizing that the love is only one way. Love isn’t love when it’s done as a favour - it actually implies the opposite. It is two people being seen and allowing the other to see them. You shouldn’t take away someone else’s right to exercise their self love and respect out of fear of judgement or the uncomfortable truth. That’s not love and it serves no one." — ABRA
