Palmistry serves up stellar remix of Past Life Romeo’s acclaimed single “Sometimes, Most Nights”
Past Life Romeo is a brand-new alternative pop project, mixing electro, hyperpop and rock. There’s melancholy and a sensuality in the writing and voice of Camila, mixed with the eclectic productions of musician Carlos Loverboy (Spill Tab, Blossoms, Myd…) who co-prouced Past Life Romeo’s first EP, and the garage drums of Jim Casanova (Annie Ada…).
This first Past Life Romeo EP, scheduled for release on 24th May, titled “You Look Just Like Me”, was recorded at Motorbass and offers a mix of analog and digital; a disk that is both organic and intimate. Throughout the EP, we find the influence of Bon Iver and Burial, but also Sega Bodega or even the pop of Lorde.
The EP was mixed by James Rand (Eartheater, Sega Bodega, LSDXOXO…) and evokes introspection and intimate questions on change, self-image, gender and sexuality.
The first single to come from the EP “Sometimes, Most Nights” was released on PIAS on February 14, 2024 to acclaim from Wonderland, Radio France Inter, Tsugi, iHeart and gained features on Apple’s New Music Daily playlist, Inrocks selection of the week, month and year, Têtu selection of the month and more.
“Sometimes, Most Nights” shakes up the codes of the pop song: between verse and chorus, the line is blurred. The song’s temporality is cyclical, representative of what it evokes: a relationship that goes round and round and doesn’t move forward: “We go round and round again”. The track mixes saturated guitars reminiscent of early M83, with hyperpop production elements inspired by SOPHIE and the candid, avant-garde pop of Farrah Abraham.
“Sometimes, Most Nights” has now been remixed by Londonian singer and producer, Palmistry. His remix adds a bold shot of hyperpop, EDM, PC music and dancehall to the song, slightly sped-up, which makes it the perfect party-starter song for this summer, in the club or on a lonely day at home.
Lagos, Nigeria – March 8, 2025 – Acclaimed artist Joyce Olong releases her latest single, “Heartstrings,” off her forthcoming project. A deeply personal and evocative song that explores themes of love, resilience, and the human experience.
“Heartstrings” showcases Joyce’s unique blend of musical styles, incorporating elements of Afrobeat, R&B, and soul. Her powerful vocals and poignant lyrics are at the forefront, inviting fans on a journey through her heart and soul.
