Live Review: Listen to Vera's smokey new single "In And Out Of Love"

Danish producer Vera has released a seductive new pop single "In And Out of Love".

Warped synths and an insanely catchy saxophone hook provide a backdrop for smooth feminine vocals crooning "In and out of love."  Vera is tight lipped on the who the vocalist is, revealing only that it was an "anonymous friend".

There's a very specific inspiration on this one, Vera explained. "I had just watched a television series about a taxi company based in Copenhagen in the late '90s featuring these lovely, hard-working taxi drivers driving a bunch of posh yuppie people to the trendy, decadent bistro cafes. I imagined that this was the music that they listened to when they were sitting in those cafes, drinking their cappuccinos and sipping on rosé."

Off the back of a long tour with Liss, Vera returned to his studio Copenhagen full of ideas for a solo project. "In and out of love" was the first to come to fruition and also marks the first original, solo release of the project.

Although fresh faced as a solo act, you might have heard Vera's work before as the producer for Danish psych-pop groups Liss and Off Bloom. You may also have come across his his remix of Mø's Kamikaze which was premiered during his boiler room set last year.
