Dance Pop from Ipe

Based in Chicago, Ipe is the solo project of Brazilian-American singer and producer L. Felipe Ramos. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Ipe’s musical journey has been shaped by a blend of cultural influences, beginning at a young age and continuing to evolve as he explores new sonic worlds.

His music is a unique fusion of his Brazilian background and modern electronic elements, creating a sound that’s colourful, catchy and entirely his own. Ipe first introduced his sound to the world in 2019 with his debut single, “Give In” and over the years, he’s continued to go from strength to strength, releasing a series of tracks that highlight his development as an artist and his ability to craft memorable pop music.

Now, Ipe returns with his latest single, “Here For The Music,” a nu-disco-inspired electronic pop anthem that showcases his musical versatility and knack for creating uplifting, danceable tracks. “Here For The Music” draws on Ipe’s talents as both a producer and performer to deliver a shimmering outing full of grooving rhythm, slick synth tones and silky vocal leads.

The track is a high-energy celebration of music itself, with an uptempo beat that sets up a song designed to get listeners moving and enjoying the moment. The nu-disco vibe shines in the track’s pulsating rhythms and smooth synths, creating a soundscape that feels at once retro and modern at the same time.

As Ipe’s rich vocals filter in, the soft swell of synth textures and taps of percussion build up around his voice. Spinning upbeat lyricism inspired by seeing someone dancing and losing themselves in the music, the track flows into a dance-focused pop outing that’s impossible not to love. With Ipe writing, recording and producing the track himself, the single also benefits from the talents of mastering engineer Alexander Wright and mixing by Gabriel Konskier.

Infectious and energising from start to finish, “Here For The Music” sees Ipe serve up a modern dance pop anthem that’s sure to win over listeners around the world. As he continues to share his alluring musical vision with the world, Ipe is an artist well worth keeping an eye on and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.

Commenting on the inspiration behind the single, Ipe shares, “I saw a girl at a party simply dancing on her own, eyes closed, just vibing. You could tell she was there for the music. And I thought that was pretty cool, so I made a song about it.”
