Parisian producer & artist, Darius has shared “MATERIAL GIRL” featuring Lo Village from his forthcoming full-length album, Oasis, out April 22nd via Roche Musique. Maryland-based trio Lo Village add a warm melody and flowing rap to the upbeat electro-soul track, which can be heard now below.
Of the collaboration, Darius says, “At first I only had the demo of the instrumental which was like a loop that lasted 1:20, with the synth building in intensity. I loved that instrumental and felt it had a rap / R&B potential that I always wanted to explore. Luckily my girlfriend had introduced me to the band Lo Village and when I listened to their music I fell in love with it immediately. It was exactly the world I was looking for. I was very happy that they agreed to collaborate and sing on this track. We worked together from a distance until the last week of the album’s delivery. It was a very intense last few days of work but in the end we are very proud of the result. I hope people enjoy it as much as we do.”
