FEVER by WAAVE
Hello, hello!
Christmas comes early this year! Here I am again, really random just in time for the last Bandcamp Friday, with a remix and a painting that are both very close to my heart.
The remix is for Manuel Nogueira, an old friend of mine. Manuel isn’t just an incredibly talented photographer and videographer; he also creates amazing music. We first met nearly 20 years ago during my very first tour in Brazil. Over the years, he’s created several music videos for me, including Ever Since and Just A While—for Ever Since, he even made two different versions. ♥️♥️♥️
Even though we don’t see each other often, there’s something that keeps us connected, and we always seem to find our way back to collaborating. This time, I’ve created a remix for his Waave Project featuring Liset Alea—also known as the lead singer of Nouvelle Vague.
Not only do I absolutely love Liset’s vocals and had an incredible time working with them, but the lyrics are so dope. Let me just say: It’s getting harder than high!
And after finishing the remix, I must’ve listened to it over 100 times on different days before sending it off—and that inspired me to create this painting.
I hope you enjoy our dark and monochromatic journey!
Wishing you all the best and lots of joy listening.
With love,
Xenia
