Malihini – If U Call

Den Song ‚If U Call‘ musste ich am Wochenende jedem vorspielen, den ich getroffen hab. Die Reaktion auf den Song vom Lo-Fi Pop Duo MALIHINI aus Rom, war immer identisch positiv. Mich hat der Song von Anfang an irgendwie an meine Kindheit erinnert und an die Melodien von damals. Giampaolo Speziale und Federica Caiozzo haben irgendwie eine Schlager Melodie auf Cool getrimmt. Am 8. März folgt auf die Single dann das Debütalbum.

“The song is about the beginning of a relationship, with grown-up behaviours hiding teenage feelings. She speaks to herself, asking him not to play games, and she doesn’t want to be taken for granted. We wrote the synth refrain on the little toy Yamaha we used to write half of the songs on this album and recorded the vocals after a few drinks. It felt totally right and we tried to preserve that mood on the following recording sessions at Giant Wafer studios with Richard. We played around on the modular synth with Richard to add some deep bass and replaced the original toy synth with our Korg faux horns”.
