Foreign Family Collective is pleased to present the newest single from multi-talented Melbourne-based producer/performer edapollo. With the single “Only You,” the artist is kicking off a busy cycle of releases.
A wonderful combination of ambient downtempo, electronica, and house music can be heard in “Only You.” The uplifting track is built around elements of island-style percussion, hazy atmospheres, a driving beat, and for the first time, edapollo’s own vocals which perfectly tie it all together.
I wrote that track when I was in the UK, back in my parents’ house and I was living there on my own for a month. It was a weird time for me. It felt lonely. I felt like I went back to a previous life I wasn’t living anymore. I set up a makeshift studio in my parents’ kitchen and came up with the track and I remember just blasting it because I was in this house in rural Devon and I could play it as loud as I want.
I was really feeling it, dancing around the kitchen, and then I realized it could use a vocal hook that repeats itself, so I started using my voice which allowed me to deliver my message a bit more, rather than searching for samples. It’s euphoric and uplifting but also has an emotional edge which sumarizes where I was at mentally, being lost and letting the music take me to a better place – edapollo
