In 2003 Daniel Bedingfield released a smash it “Gotta Get Through This”, now he lends his vocal talents and songwriting craft to “Spotlight” bringing the track a strong sense of pop to Hermitude’s future-driven production. Collectively they have fused together genres with a myriad of R&B influenced house and elevated basslines. It’s a track that you can feel in your bones. Good vibes and positive energy instantly fill the room. “On one of our travels to LA writing Pollyanarchy, we were lucky enough to find ourselves in a room with Dan. He brought so much vibe into the studio that day and his raw talent oozed out of the vocal booth. He got the essence of the song that first take and then we refined it from there. A truly unique and amazing artist and a session we’ll never forget,” says Hermitude.
“Spotlight” is the first release following their 2019 Pollyanarchy album. Hermitude’s sixth records—which hit #6 on Australia’s ARIA charts—emphasized the duo’s knack for forward-thinking experimentalism. It highlighted an evolved and matured take on the sound that pushed them into realms beyond what they’d explored in the past, aided by a list of guest collaborators including Buddy & BJ The Chicago Kid, Vic Mensa who made his mark on “Dusk Till Dawn,” Bibi Bourelly, a co-writer on Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money,” Electric Fields and Haiku Hands among others.
Hermitude are one of those duos that are undeniably innovators of the new future-driven genre of electronic dance music that is progressing the scene forward in new directions. The sky is the limit for these guys.
