Seven-piece roots-reggae band Corrella have today released their new love song ‘Little Circles’.
A song sure to give you butterflies, Corrella dedicate this sweet new single to ‘all the lovers’, while taking listeners to a place of ‘magic’ and ‘wonder’. Following on from their recent charting hits ‘Skankin’, ‘We On (Catch-22 Remix)’, ‘Raumati’ and ‘Raumati (Isdale Remix)’, ‘Little Circles’ is sure to be another hit with fans.
“Everyone can relate to a moment or think of a person when they hear this track,” says Te Naawe Tupe - songwriter and rhythm guitarist. “It’s quite literal in terms of lyrics and feel, but to put a label on it - the song is about the feeling you get when you see that one person who makes you feel something more than anyone else. There's just something about seeing someone you are keen on walk through the doors, and I wanted to portray that in a song.”
‘Little Circles’ has definitely succeeded in capturing these moments with their mellow, laid back reggae and, a first for the group, a female-led vocal - clearly showcasing what an incredible vocal talent Rebekah Brady is.
Recorded at Parachute studios, it was produced by Jimmy Colbert, mixed by Christian Tjandrawinata and mastered by Vivek Gabriel. The band says that ‘Little Circles’ is yet another good taste of what’s to come, as they continue to tease an upcoming album.
