MUMBAI: “We originally wrote ‘Trouble’ with Abso in NYC at our studio as a slow, piano ballad, at 90 bpm. The idea was to write something that felt melancholy and classic. After we laid down the original idea, he left and we started experimenting with it – treating it like a sample – totally chopping it up and flipping it. This is the same way we approach some of our earlier songs like ‘Dancing With The DJ’ and ‘Make it Better’ so it was cool to go back to that formula while making a sound that was new and fresh.” – The Knocks
New York electronic duo The Knocks present their new single ‘Trouble’, featuring American producer Absofacto, out now via Big Beat. The upbeat track will feature on The Knocks’ upcoming Testify EP.
Blessed with Abosfacto’s dreamy vocal, ‘Trouble’ flaunts a bouncy disco-themed bassline and smooth piano melodies. The duo’s latest release is a strong display of their dynamic producing skills and is set to build on the success of their previous track, ‘HEAT’ featuring Sam Nelson Harris.
