The place do you go after a brighter future?
When beginning to consider what comes subsequent for Huge Gigantic, my thoughts instantly goes again in time and I’m wondering, “What has this all been about? Who was I back then when we started Big Gigantic, and what am I now all of these years later? What has been the main theme that’s been driving this train throughout the process?”
I begin to consider how the phrases “Brighter Future” appeared to begin to outline who we had been and what we had been about as a band—and as individuals, finally. We need to, and needed to, assist individuals and alter individuals’s lives by way of our music and in and round our musical neighborhood and our communities the place we reside.
I assumed to myself, “What is the extension of a ‘Brighter Future,’ and what happens after that? What’s the next story to tell on this journey?”
A phrase got here to thoughts: “Fluorescence.” In essence, a light-weight. Whereas Brighter Future expresses hope and positivity and a future that’s illuminated, “Fluorescence” is that gentle, and the brightness has arrived—and it’s glowing inside, within the current second. Fluorescence is the embodiment of the sunshine that Brighter Future promised.
Fluorescence is inside power activated. It represents soulful ignition, emotional depth and inventive spark.
The place A Brighter Future seeks gentle, Fluorescence turns into it. The longer term turned brighter, and now we’re glowing in it—softly, vividly, unexpectedly.
With the ability to step again and look deeply into what I needed to create shifting ahead with Huge Gigantic, I made a decision that with Fluorescence I needed to have a foot firmly planted up to now whereas, on the similar time, confidently getting into the current and the long run—all of the whereas realizing the setting that we exist inside.
The primary two singles that we’ve lately launched are a press release into that agency foot up to now and what has gotten us to the place we’re immediately, with a singular twist on that setting that we exist in as a band/DJ. Funky beats, sax and horn leads, and hard-hitting bass vibes all through—with a singular, soulful twist to the music.
The remainder of the music on Fluorescence continues to evolve and push the boundaries of what Huge Gigantic is all about.
We’ve invited longtime mates and next-gen producers alongside for the trip in a few of our favourite songs that we’ve created as we proceed on this journey to evolve and develop into creating music that’s particular and distinctive and actually resonates in our unbelievable neighborhood of listeners, artists, followers and basic lovers of music and neighborhood.
