Poolside and Panama, the musical duo known for their previous releases Kinda Lovely and Can’t Stop Your Lovin, have collaborated on a new single titled Back To Life. This fresh tune showcases a special connection between the two artists that emerged during the pandemic and symbolizes a return to normalcy.
The latest offering from Poolside is a wonderful composition that combines vibrant instrumentation with captivating vocal performances. The funky musical vibe created by the instruments adds a sizzling energy to the air, while the harmonious and melodic vocals serenade the ears.
The collaboration between Poolside and Panama began in early 2021 when the pandemic was in full swing. During the lockdown, Poolside worked relentlessly on music and honed their production skills from the comfort of their homes. Eventually, they received the green light to collaborate with Panama at Wolf at the Door studios, thanks to the reassurance from Alex Kemp, who also worked on their previous project, Low Season. Despite being physically apart, with Panama in Australia, the duo was accustomed to remote collaboration.
Describing the creative process, Poolside mentioned tapping into a groovy light rock meets funk energy, channeling their shared yearning for connection and a return to normalcy into the lyrics. The production of the song is slick and effectively tells this story, building up to a cathartic crescendo that is characteristic of Poolside’s style. The foundation of the track was completed around 2021, and it took over a year for the musicians to perfect it, passing it back and forth between Los Angeles and Australia.
While there was a temptation to release the song as soon as possible when restrictions began to ease, Poolside is grateful for the extra time and care that went into its creation. The extended timeline and attention to detail have resulted in a song that truly resonates. They express their appreciation to their audience and eagerly anticipate sharing more music in the coming year.
In addition to their latest release, Poolside is set to perform at various Spring festivals in Mexico, including Vaivén and Corona Capital Guadalajara, continuing their successful run. The band’s live performances are sure to captivate audiences with their unique blend of infectious energy and musical brilliance.
The collaboration between Poolside and Panama in Back To Life represents a triumph over the challenges faced during the pandemic. By combining their musical talents and embracing the power of technology, the artists have created a captivating piece that brings hope and celebrates the beauty of music. As they navigate a changing world, Poolside and Panama continue to inspire listeners and provide a much-needed escape through their artistry.
