House music duo Gioli & Assia announce new EP Moon Faces

Duo Giolì & Assia have released their new track ‘For You‘, the first single off their highly anticipated upcoming EP, MOON FACES, to be released on Ultra Records. ‘For You‘ showcases a high octane explosion with elements of techno and indie-pop energy that solidifies their status as pioneers in the live indie-electronic space.

This track follows the success of their latest singles ‘Habibi‘ and ‘Darling‘, which have seen over a million streams to date and drops more hints towards their forthcoming EP in this next exciting era of their career as producers, multi-instrumentalists, singers, songwriters, and performers.

“This record has elements of our sound that our fans love, but this time we wanted to slow it down and focus on the lyrics. It’s a love song, but at the same time it’s intense and decisive. When the pitch of the vocals change, it suggests a move to strength, as the love can be gentle but also protective and passionate. We realize there is a lot going on in the world, and we hope that our music can help bring some positivity into it.”

Music duo Firewoodisland have released their official cover of iconic Alphaville song ‘Forever Young’ via Warner Music UK. To date, the pairing has seen support from the likes of renowned publications like PopMatters, Earmilk, Clash Magazine, Atwood Magazine, Wonderland Magazine and Q Magazine as well as airplay on BBC Radio Wales (A-List), BBC Radio 6’s Radcliffe & Maconie and Tom Robinson, BBC Radio’s Introducing In The West, Devon, and Stoke, Amazing Radio and Norway’s NRK P3.

Firewoodisland elaborates on the personal meaning behind the song cover, “We’ve always wanted to do our own take on a well-known song. ‘Forever Young’ was one of the most played road trips tunes from Stian’s childhood memories. Talking about a time of real uncertainty, the Cold War, it mirrors the time we are going through in 2020. Our hope was to make a beautiful and heartfelt Firewoodisland rendition, while still respecting the original melodies and lyrics. Hopefully, we’ve done it justice.”

‘Forever Young’ is reimagined through more modern mediums but carries the same warmth of the original by Alphaville.
