Fly to You

‘Fly To You’ is the first song i’ve ever made with features, so wanted to share some lore about it with you today
☘︎𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔢𝔰࿎] and i had been ambiently plotting for years to make something together, but were never organized enough to make it happen. but the baby demo of Fly To You already felt like bridge between our worlds, this crystalline rave ballad that was somehow very comforting. I sent her the demo - she loved it and finally we had our moment to collab
A few months later we met up at her house and wrote / recorded her verse at her home studio. It was such a thrill to watch her at work as a producer and engineer, so articulated with her sense of tone and layers and effects. We got stupidly excited as the picture came into focus, up til 7am at the computer, lit only by pink string lights, jacked up on some weird triple cold brew
Much later, dreaming big dreams, I wrote Dido a letter asking if she’d also join the two of us the song, and was stunned to hear back from her that she loved it and was game. A matter of days later, I brought all my home studio gear and set up on the her porch, where Dido and I wrote and recorded her verse, singing together in the sunlight and fresh air. It was amazing to witness her clarity and precision firsthand, and a big deal to me that she so trustingly let me engineer. Her voice is instantly so singular and wonderful, i had chills on her first take. I’m still pinching myself ..
Beyond even their music, I credit both these brilliant artists with sculpting the landscape of our time, creating their own paradigms where where humanity and modernity aren’t at odds. It’s the biggest gift…really, it’s all about beauty. So it’s a massive honor to all braid our voices and perspectives here together on a song that, at the end of the day, is also about beauty
Hugest love to Dido and ☘︎𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔢𝔰࿎] as this little song flies from us to you
