Versatile musician Solarrio, born David Barenboim, is leaving a mark with his latest track “NLF,” featuring Holland Izz. This fusion of pop-dance-funk pays tribute to the legendary sounds of the eighties, providing a delightfully upbeat and fun dance experience.
From a background of classical musicians, Solarrio‘s journey led him through rock bands and hip-hop production, gaining acclaim as one of Germany’s top producers. Now, he’s refocusing on his own music, blending synth pop and R-&-B and Funk.
“NLF” is a sensational preview of Solarrio‘s debut album, All The Wrong Places, slated for a spring 2024 on Playel Records.
Crafted with Alhassan Sakho, Solarrio says this about Holland Izz,
I knew I wanted to get Holland Izz on this song, I was looking for the right track to feature him on. This felt like a perfect fit since we’re both huge Rick James/Prince fans and this song definitely feels like an homage to them. I decided to use a vocal sample from another Holland Izz song that I co-produced called “Do it on the Concrete”. The part where he says ‘She a nasty lil freak’. Once I added that it all started coming together and Holland sent me his verse back. Definitely not the last song we will be doing together.
Solarrio adds this about his passion for the track,
I’m a huge eighties R&B/Funk fan – Prince, Rick James, anything produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. I really wanted to bring that kind of vibe back with my debut album. This particular song is definitely an homage. Upbeat, groovy, fun, and funky. It’s one of my favorites from my album!
“NLF” is a time warp back to the 80’s. It’s groovy, fun, funky, infectious and downright catchy and it pays a wonderful homage to the icons Solarrio was inspired by. “NFL” is pure, solid, gold.
