Poolside, the recording project of producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Paradise, has revealed (November 14) the French version of “Loney Night” with MUNYA from his latest album Blame It All On Love (Ninja Tune/Counter Records) and is pleased to share dates for Poolside’s 2024 North American Tour.

Lofty vocals on Poolside’s  “Moonlight”--co-written with Cut Copy’s Ben Browning and the follow up to their “Ride With You.' It is the latest single from the recording project of producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Paradise that will appear on his upcoming album Blame It All On Love. Plus, check out upcoming tour dates!

The hypnotic disco rhythm builds up to a brilliant beat drop accompanied by Poolside’s romantic ballad of vocals. “We Could Be Falling In Love” balances the sounds of a vibrant nightclub with the lyrics of an intimate date night. The single comes with a visualizer that Poolside filmed during his recent show at The Bellwether.

Here Poolside, which is the recording project of producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Paradise teams with Cut Copy bassist Ben Browning and turns “Ride With You” into a co-write of new and nostalgia as island rhythms and steel drums ripple beneath Browning’s echoing vocals.

“Float Away” is released alongside a video directed by Nathan Castiel, who did the “Each Night” video and whose portfolio includes work for Remi Wolf, Jackson Wang and Surf Curse. Shot at a house in Malibu, Paradise is joined by Vansire’s Josh Augustin and Sam Winemiller, Poolside guitarist Alton Allen and Taylor Olin to play members of a cult.

“Back To Life” finds Poolside--the recording project of Los Angeles-based producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Paradise—teaming again with Australian artist Panama. Known for their previous releases “Kinda Lovely” and “Can’t Stop Your Lovin’”-- both which appeared on Poolside’s Low Season album.

Poolside and Brijean have joined forces to kick off the new year with a characteristically mellow, jazz-inflected R&B slow burn that perfectly fuses the former’s production chops and taste with the latter’s trademark percussion and lilting vocal. The track was originally released as an NFT before premiering on all streaming platforms.
