about

Electronic master and multi-hyphenate talent Roosevelt releases “Ordinary Love”, a glimpse at the euphoric yet tentative first steps of a new romance. Sirens announce the new track introducing layered synths and a grooving interplay between guitar, percussion and bassline. It’s classic Roosevelt, effortlessly swirling together a near-symphonic level of musical parts with his breezy vocal delivery to create something that is somehow both soothing and irresistibly danceable. It’s his first release after signing with new label Counter Records/Ninja Tune.

Of “Ordinary Love”, Roosevelt said that it was “written in LA last summer in an isolated cabin in Elysian Heights. I worked on a demo that I initially called 'Wall Of Sound', putting a ton of synth layers together – I wanted to create some kind of urgency, that resembles the euphoria of a new love, with all its bliss, but also the uncertainty that comes with it. The idea of the sound of the sirens, that are played on a vintage Prophet 5, came when I wanted to create an underlying feeling of instability. It worked out as a great contrast to the melodic chords, as there's always a slight disharmony going on throughout the track.”

He added that “It's a huge honor to be releasing on Ninja Tune, which always has been a favorite of mine. It felt like a no-brainer to me - a lot of other artists and producers that I know and am a fan of are working with the label and their crossover approach on Counter between the pop and electronic world feels like a great fit for my project.”
