Synth-Pop artist Roosevelt has shared his latest single, the anthemic 'Ordinary Love', which is also his debut release on Ninja Tune's Counter Records imprint. The track is his first release since his 2022 collaboration 'Passion' with the legendary Nile Rodgers.
Roosevelt, is the artist moniker for Marius Lauber. The German producer, instrumentalist, vocalist and DJ's kaleidoscopic new track weaves together funky bass, shoegaze-leaning guitars, vibrant synths and a stadium-sized chorus, with the psychedelic fusion combining to transcendent effect.
"I wanted to create some kind of urgency that resembles the euphoria of a new love, with all its bliss but also the uncertainty that comes with it," he says of the track.
Having left his studio in Cologne in search of new inspiration, the track was written in an isolated cabin in the Elysian Heights of Los Angeles last summer.
Layering many synths together, Roosevelt originally called the single 'Wall Of Sound' when he was working on the initial demo. Sonically, the idea of the sound of the sirens, which are played on a vintage Prophet 5, came as he wanted to "create an underlying feeling of instability.
"It worked out as a great contrast to the melodic chords," Roosevelt adds, "as there's always a slight disharmony going on throughout the track".
It also comes after his third album, 'Polydans', which was released in February 2021 and, according to SPIN magazine, "got bodies moving and hearts racing" and his remix of Taylor Swift's global phenomenon 'Anti-Hero' in late 2022. More new music is expected from Roosevelt this summer, alongside his return to the stage as part of a huge live tour.
~~~~~~~~
Marius Lauber aka Roosevelt is a dedicated music lover drawn to all forms of dance music. From yacht rock to Balearic textures, house euphoria to sub-zero techno, it's the warm emotional touch that drives his music and makes people fall in love with his break through 'Elliot EP', outstanding debut album 'Roosevelt', bold and addictive follow-up 'Young Romance' and then we have his latest work 'Polydans'.
The new album came out in Feb 2021 and serves as a love letter to dance music, with Roosevelt embracing his own musical history and love of the genre, reconnecting with the intimate nuances that can make dance music feel truly alive.Writing and producing the whole record by himself, Roosevelt created 'Polydans' by swirling together the spirits of 80s synth, disco, analogue and delirious dance floor euphoria with spectacular results.
~~~~~~~~
Hailing from Cologne, Roosevelt blends Balearic haze with his hometown's trademark electronica to make loved-up guitar pop; his debut solo release 'Sea' playfully conjuring up images of long fading summers with its dubbed out guitars, rolling bass and longing vocals.
