Since his emergence onto the music scene with the unveiling of his debut EP in 2015, Henry Green has amassed an impressive global following with hundreds of millions of streams, with fans extending to other highly-respected names in the genre. His latest exciting single, Outside, continues his creative journey and stands as his boldest sonic expression yet. This new release comes along with a music video directed by Josh Aarons and starring Maria Webb, offering a tantalising glimpse into what lies ahead.
“I remember writing the original sketch for Outside during one of the many lockdowns here in the UK. I knew that, when writing the original chord progression, I wanted to work with a sample rather than my own vocal,” Green replies when asked about this latest release, with which he embarks on a captivating journey into the realm of dance music exuding his trademark sophistication throughout. “It felt serendipitous the way that the sample was found. I stumbled across a recording of David Ruffin of The Temptations on my laptop. I'd seemingly downloaded it years prior to the sample and that line – “I want to go outside” – lined up almost perfectly as I was searching through my files,” adds the producer who has collaborated with heavyweights Kygo, Christian Loffler and Cyril Hahn.
Cleverly incorporating a sample from The Temptations' timeless classic I Wish It Would Rain, and the simplicity and depth of the hook “I wanna go outside,” his latest single is poised to reinforce his position among the contemporary electro royalty and keeps building anticipation for a project that promises to be a remarkable musical endeavour. We can't wait to know more about his upcoming projects, with which he will surely continue forging an intimate connection that transcends conventional boundaries.
