François Marius originally hails from Canada and is now based in the Estonian capital of Tallinn, where he’s been sharing his stunning sonic vision. With his reggae-infused pop sound, he’s been making an impact and his latest single, “Rasta Dance (STARRY NIGHT),” offers the perfect taste of his style.
Recorded in both Canada and Estonia during the summer and mastered at the iconic Abbey Road Studio in London by Grammy-winning mastering engineer Simon Gibson, “Rasta Dance (STARRY NIGHT)” is a track that drips groove and good vibes.
From the moment the track begins, François takes listeners to a vibrant and rhythmic world. The reggae beats lay a steady rhythm and the brass-led instrumentation injects a superb sense of celebration into the composition, lifted by the addition of a slick saxophone lead in the closing moments to add an extra layer of colour to the track.
Beneath the lively surface, the pulsating bass tones provide a deep and resonant backbone to the song. They ground the track, ensuring that the groove remains consistent and bouncy throughout. François Marius’ vocals are another highlight of the track. Singing in French, his smooth and soulful voice adds a truly charming aesthetic to the track.
The truly stunning choir of backing voices crafts a delightful interplay between François Marius’ vocals, making for a blissful jam that’s guaranteed to lift anyone’s mood. As François Marius continues to release music, he’s sure to win over more fans and tastemakers around the world, and we can’t wait to see what he’ll do next.
Paired with the release of the single is a music video that reflects the joyous, upbeat nature of the song. Featuring scenes of François singing the song, cut with shots of the musicians and backing singers all filtered through a kaleidoscopic Van Gogh-esque lens, it’s a colourful and playful visual accompaniment to his brilliant song.
