Born in Paris and moving between Frankfurt, Switzerland, and Singapore over the course of his childhood, it’s no wonder the now Utah-residing artist, ford., has such a diverse blend of musical influences. His unique musical perspective shaped the project we now now as ford. – one encompassing uniquely euphoric, blissful sound design. ford.’s newest single, “Tell Me (Anew),” has just arrived.
A swung, laid-back beat intersects with dreamy, atmospheric pads to start off “Tell Me (Anew).” ford. flexes his production and arrangement skills, riffing on a variety of saturated synth leads throughout the track while not distracting from the main progression. Each element of the track seamlessly combines into a symphony of melodic euphoria.
ford. gave us a glimpse into how he wrote “Tell Me (Anew),” sharing:
I started writing this song two years ago and it always gives me a feeling that I’m hearing it for the first time when I listen to it. I wanted to create something as if I was waking up and entering a new phase of life. I wanted to get that emotion and get it distilled down into the most essential form it could be in music. It’s an awakening, so to speak.
