lovetempo celebrate blissfully mature romance on sunshine soaked "Same Ole Love (365 Days A Year)"
As winter begins to make its chilling presence felt, Mattie Safer (The Rapture) premieres a sun soaked reinterpretation of an Anita Baker classic from his latest project, lovetempo. "Same Ole Love (365 Days A Year)” resists the changing seasons by conjuring wistful nostalgia for seemingly eternal summertimes spent lounging poolside, adrift in the moment as a sweaty Aperol Spritz drips lazily between sunscreen fingers.
The ultra chilled production layers laid-back basslines amidst a tropical arrangement of lush electronics, gregarious guitar chords, and percussion that moves with the tranquil yet suggestive rhythm of warm ocean surf lapping lovingly at the fringes of a postcard perfect white sand beach. Soulful vocals by Prince Terrence enrich the composition, elevating "Same Ole Love" from chic resort background instrumental to a full on baby-making jam, overflowing with the confident romance of a mature, stable relationship.
"Same Ol Love (365 Days A Year)" is a smooth, classic R&B bop that espouses the same type of blissfully idealized monogamy that fellow NY indie vets Chromeo have inflated from Brooklyn underground nightclubs into stadium-sized touring productions. But lovetempo takes a different route, forgoing the pomp and circumstance of a grand romantic gesture in favor of the quiet intimacy of a private moment with one's partner. Grown out of the games and settled into a comfortable coexistence, two souls intertwined 365 days a year in a same ole love that always fits just right and never goes out of style.
lovetempo is shaping up to be a showcase for Safer's impressive musical skills and impeccable taste in timeless vibes. Stream "Same Ole Love (365 Days A Year)" on Spotify and follow lovetempo on Instagram.
