With the rise of a new generation of folk and country music stars and the growing proliferation of dance music within younger demographics, MC4D has seamlessly stepped up to the challenge of blending these fast growing genres into their fresh “folktronica” sound.
Reminiscent Of Monsters and Men’s 2010s hits as well as Avicii’s folk-leaning anthems “Wake Me Up” and “Hey Brother”, “Be Here With Me Now” begins with ethereal guitar melodies, setting the stage for an emotional male and female vocal duet complemented by organic instrumentation and gently undulating electronic production. With its melancholy chord progression, soulful indie-folk vocal performance, and powerful electronic beat, the song holds mass appeal for both country/folk and dance music fans. Leading up to MC4D’s debut EP later this year, “Be Here With Me Now” will continue to build upon MC4D’s recent single “Afterlife,” which is currently charting on the Viral 50 Spotify charts in several countries, as well as their viral folktronica remixes for Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, and Shaboozey.
“‘Be Here With Me Now’ epitomizes where we’re heading with our ‘folktronica’ sound, and we couldn’t be luckier to have worked on it with gavn! and Łaszewo. They’re both so incredibly talented and helped us bring to life a truly unique song that is reminiscent of the Of Monsters and Men hits mixed with an upbeat and emotional electronic feel. We can’t think of another dance song like it that’s out right now, and we’re stoked for Be Here With Me Now to continue expanding the boundaries of how folk and dance music can be combined.” – MC4D
“‘Be Here With Me Now’ is a great mix between emotional lyricism and energetic dance music. This one blurs the line between folk and electronic, existing in its own world of euphoria. The lyrics are deep, the melody’s catchy, and the production takes it to a whole new level. We loved working on this one with the homies.” – Łaszewo
“Life goes on and people get busy, but sometimes all we need is a person to sit down and exist with us in that given moment. This song could be directed at a prior love, a person that’s no longer her, etc. The world needs more connection in an age where we only exist digitally, and this song embodies the inner feeling of not wanting to be so alone.” – gavn!
