Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard has shared a new single, ‘New World (Flow)’, featuring Bronx-born, Milan-based singer-songwriter and visual artist Fiorious. Check out the Tom Furse-directed video for it below.
“When I wrote the chords for this song, I was aiming for something with the power of a hymn,” Goddard said in a statement. “Without discussing this concept, Fiorious added words that have a kind of atheistic spiritual quality that I always love in house music.”
Fiorious added: “I connected to the track instantly and loved how it moved from an interior moment in the verse to an explosive climax in the chorus. The lyrics took their cue from that feeling, the idea of getting out of your own way and surrendering, and so it became this meditation on fearlessness. From there, I started arranging my vocals as a huge choir of me, and it all came together very quickly.”
