Here’s a piece of beautiful Afro House to close your week in style.
Just days ahead of Miami Music Week, one of the staple events of Electronic music worldwide, a monumental collaboration has seen the light of day. The Magic City’s very own rising star Amal Nemer joins Maxi Meraki, Helsloot, and Adam Nazar on ‘Our Future‘, a highly anticipated Afro House release out today via Ultra Records. The track has already become a notable spin during all four of the artists’ sets, who’ve seen its high energy and love-referencing lyrics resonate with audiences worldwide.
Elegantly produced, ‘Our Future’ explores the feelings of falling in love unexpectedly, while providing listeners with a bed of clever instrumentation and infectious groove.“’Our Future‘ is about one of my favorite things: love”, says Amal Nemer, who, in addition to contributing the track’s top line vocals, worked on the song’s production from its early stages. “The track tells the story of somebody who didn’t want to fall in love yet couldn’t resist. Adam had produced something already, and when we connected, upon hearing the melodies, the lyrics just came to me. I had it in mind to make a love song, and what better theme to explore than unexpected love!”.
Once a deeper, pop-leaning house tune, ‘Our Future’ quickly turned into a fiery Afro House arrangement when Maxi Meraki and Helsloot were added into the equation. After some back-and-forth between the four collaborating artists, the record was ready for some spellbinding dancefloor action.
Combining the best offerings of all producers involved, the piece marries Afro percussion with melodic guitars, brass-like basslines, and day-party resembling atmospheres. Amal’s voice acts as a gluing element throughout the entire production, at times as shining vocals, and other times as clever textures, even serving as percussion accents. She recognizes ‘Our Future’ departs from her usual Tech House sound, yet she embraces it as a part of her versatility: “Once in a while I wanna do something different. Step outside those boxes”, Amal remarks, nodding towards a year packed with new music.
