A new album from LP Giobbi is on the way! Inspired by experiences of love and loss over the past year, her sophomore LP, Dotr, explores a wide range of emotions and inspirations, and we can’t wait to hear it in its entirety this October. For now, LP has joined forces with none other than the legendary Portugal. The Man, for a brand new single off the album, “Bittersweet.”
Embodying the carefree, joyous spirit of LP’s previous releases, “Bittersweet” picks up right where she left off with “Feel.” Portugal. The Man’s iconic vocals add an extra layer of comfort and familiarity, allowing us settle into the track with ease. A spacious interlude at 2:22 brings us firmly back into Giobbi’s signature production style, filled with reverb-y pads, massive drums, and warm piano chords.
LP commented on her experience working with Portugal. The Man, sharing:
Portugal. The Man have been my favorite band since 2012 when I discovered their album In the Mountain in the Cloud. I cannot tell you how many late night air guitar jams I have had to that album in my living room. I just about passed out when they asked me to remix one of their songs a couple years ago and then again when they sent me some tunes to work on, including what is now ‘Bittersweet’. The vocal is one of the most attention grabbing melodies I have heard in a long time.
