Rose Gray has published in these last days of January his debut album, ‘Louder, Please’, an excellent work of EDM and Dance-Pop that we highlight as a disc of the week. It is mandatory to mention its exciting approaches to the British Bass (‘Wet & Wild’), to the Eurovisive pop (‘Angels of satisfaction’), to the Balearic (‘Free)’ or the Rave music (‘switch’). And we could continue.
In fact, it remains to be mentioned (probably) the best album song: ‘Party People’ is the song of the day for Saturday.
‘Party People’ is Rose Gray’s tribute to his Raveros friends. In Spanish, we could translate the title as “partiers”, “Juergueros” or “parranderos”, but the really important thing is that these people are close to the life of Rose Gray. She has raised dancing in London’s discos, and in these spaces she has discovered her love for electronic music, which has led her to publish one of the best debuts of the year.
The group of party friends includes in ‘Party People’ to Sega Bodega, the only producer of the song. In ‘Party People’, Bodega, who has worked with FKA Twigs, Eearthear or Shygrl, delivers a progressive, elegant and aquatic House Beat, reminiscent of ‘I Remember’ (2009), the Kaskade and Deadmau5 classic. Both songs are joined by a feeling of deep melancholy. It is as if Gray knew, when he sings that “the partiers love, fuck, they get the best of us”, that all this happiness will end one day. But, while it lasts, she continues to dance.
Gray has said that he wrote ‘Party People’ with Sega Bodega in Paris and has described his composition as a “whirlwind.” He explains: «I live surrounded by people who are partying and fascinate me. I have this group of friends who, if we lived in the 80s and 90s, would have attended all the raves. I based on them to write the song because I think they live in a very free way. In ‘Party People’ I feel that I observe these people sitting in a disco; People who go from partying obsess me ».
