BLUESTAEB READY FOR UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE WITH NEW SINGLE “MIND” FT. NOAH SLEE & MAÏA
Berlin and Paris based producer Bluestaeb releases new single “Mind” - the first taste of new album Everything Is Always a Process, out via tastemaker label Jakarta Records later this year.
Featuring the vocals of NZ artist Noah Slee and Australia’s multi-disciplinary artist MAÏA, “Mind” is an infinitely soulful duet which showcases all three of the artists in their own right. Groove, beats, a subdued neo-soul sensibility, and melodic adlibs place Bluestaeb alongside acts such as Eric Lau, Kaytranada
Originally started in 2015, the track found its soulmate when Bluestaeb and Noah met at a show in Stuttgart in 2016 and started sending beats back and forth.
“Noah did a first version of the song and then invited MAÏA to join and bring another dimension to the track.”
In “Mind”, Bluestaeb’s influences shine through, while taking on a sound of their own at the same time. The second part of the beat includes a little reference to one of his favourite tracks by The Roots, bringing more live instrumentation, with slick guitar licks and keys taking the original beat into a more mature space.
