The juxtaposition between the vibrant soundscape and the emotional weight of the lyrics creates a unique and powerful listening experience, with the chorus posing the question, “Do you think about last summer, And all the colours? It makes me wonder.
Felix of FAST BOY reflects on working with Moby: “He’s an absolute pioneer of electronic music, always pushing boundaries. It feels surreal to collaborate with someone who’s remained so influential for so many years.” His brother Lucas adds, “Moby’s album Play shaped a generation, including me. We wanted to capture that blend of deep emotion and rave-inspired lightness in ‘Last Summer,’ as a tribute to unforgettable summer moments.”
Known for his iconic hits like ‘Go’ and the groundbreaking Play, Moby adds his signature eclectic style to the track, blending elements of punk and ambient music. His contribution complements FAST BOY’s modern pop sound, giving ‘Last Summer’ an edge of nostalgia and depth.
Adding to the track’s emotional quality is Sophie and the Giants, who further enhance the sound with their harmonizing vocals and make sure to be ”reminding us of the magic of summer” which is the backbone of the song according to Sophie.
