SLANDER and William Black reunite for their highly anticipated follow-up single “Keep U Warm,” serving as a sequel to the producers’ debut collab, “Back To U,” originally released in 2020, which has amassed over 29.5 million streams to date.
Joined by vocalist Jordan Shaw, the second collaboration is now surfacing on SLANDER’s ever-growing Heaven Sent label.
L.A.-based production pair SLANDER have developed a cult-like following around their emotion-drenched melodic bass music and massive festival-pleasers. Reuniting with Denver-based producer William Black comes the tender ballad “Keep U Warm,” alongside acclaimed singer/songwriter Jordan Shaw.
“Keep U Warm” is a heartfelt anthem that illustrates the insurmountable power of love’s deepest devotion. Centered around Jordan Shaw’s distinct crooning, the vocals act as a comforting blanket woven from the threads of an enamored heart. The lyrics explore an array of selfless declarations proving that love has no boundaries, with a willingness to go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that special someone feels safe and sound. Poignant piano keys and graceful acoustic guitar strums offer an intimate foundation that perfectly intertwines with the captivating vocal delivery. Soothing synth progressions skim across the surface with an unfettered and uplifting energy. The addictive hook soars over the heavenly backing to create an infectious chorus that simulates the rush of true love.
SLANDER speaks to the excitement around the release, saying, “‘Keep U Warm’ is here! Our follow-up to ‘Back To U’ with William Black has been a long time coming, and we could not be more excited to finally share it with the world. Working with William and Jordan Shaw was incredible. They are both amazing artists and we are so happy with the final version. We tried to capture some of the essence of ‘Back To U’ and build a sequel. We hope that anyone who likes our previous collaboration will give this one a shot, as well!”
William Black expands on the meaning behind the release: “For me, ‘Keep U Warm’ is about being selfless and loving the people you hold dear to you. When someone you love is hurting, you feel their pain, as well.”
