French African singer Juliet Ariel released her new single “Wish You Were Here” featuring Mozambican rapper Laylizzy on March 19th.
“Wish You Were Here” reads like a greeting on a postcard. It is an emotional Afro-Latin club ballad about a long distance relationship’s survival after the end of a summer love romance (ie. Juliet’s previous track “Summer Luv”).
The collaboration with Laylizzy, who is best known for his song “Wacko with King 98 and Nasty C” brings a new hip-hop perspective to her previously more tropical house inspired records.
The track is defined by a mesmerising mix of rhythm and emotion. Lo-fi effects on the drums and instruments bring intensity and suspense throughout the song. Juliet’s chilled toned vocals are vulnerable yet powerful and Laylizzy smoothly delivers his response in Portuguese and English.
Talking about the track, Juliet said: “Feelings are like waves, they come and go, meaning you can’t expect a good thing to last forever. When I wrote “Wish You Were Here” I wanted to express how I felt about the end of something great. Turning my fear of loss into a powerful song was a way for me to move on and look back and smile.”
“Wish You Were Here” is available on all music platforms through Believe and is the second track from Juliet’s upcoming EP, “Endless summer”, which is expected later this year.
“Summer Luv”, the first track from the EP, was released on July 3rd. It received playlist support from all major DSP’s including Apple Music “Pop Chill”, #1 on Deezer “Chill House”, Amazon Music “Speaking Pop” and Soundcloud “Fresh Pressed UK”.
