British pop/dance artist JASMINE IS is ready to light up the dance floor with her new track ‘Love of Money’ out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
‘Love of Money’ is the second single from the debut album HEAR by JASMINE IS, which is set for release in May. Produced by Philip Larsen (Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga) this electro dance-pop song explores the old adage that money can’t buy you happiness.
“I sent Philip the song with a reference for the kind of feel I was after, a dance vibe,” says JASMINE IS. “The inspiration for 'Love of Money' was someone I know who had an unhealthy obsession with money, spending lavishly, living hard and having nothing to show for it at the end of the day. It was an endless cycle trying to fill an emotional void with stuff, and of course, that never works. I liked the idea of a pop/dance track juxtaposed with the seriousness of the message: the insidious nature of greed.”
JASMINE and Philip had a somewhat unique working relationship when recording her new album HEAR. Being intensely private and avoiding phone and video calls, JASMINE’s preference was to communicate only via messaging and the odd voice note while sending files backwards and forwards for the first year.
Says JASMINE: “The limitations caused by the pandemic and having to work remotely, actually suited me perfectly. After about a year working together, messaging only, I’d written a song that Philip composed a beautiful piano piece for, but when I heard it, it immediately sparked a completely different melody with a very different subject. As he was going to have to create something else, I decided it would be better to discuss things over the phone. That was the first time we spoke! And as for the first Zoom call, that took another 6 months! Thankfully, we’ve proved that working remotely and invisibly for the most part, doesn’t have to be detrimental to collaborating and creating music. But who knows, it’s entirely possible Philip and I may meet up one of these days..under a Vulcan! But that’s another story..”
‘Love of Money’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit jasmine.is.
