Puerto Rican
artist-production duo, COASTCITY,
releases left-of-center 80’s inspired love song “Purple and Prince” today via
The Orchard.
The Latin Alt-R&B duo produced and wrote the record that pays tribute to
music legend Prince, as heard in the chorus when they croon, “…back at it again, like
beepers and Timbs, we fit together like purple and Prince…”
The single is part of the duo’s forthcoming album, Wild Americanos.
“This song is about running
into a familiar face and stepping right back into that exact time when emotions
were exchanged. This is a love that reignites with just a glance. We
intentionally produced it imperfectly, this is reflected at the very end of the
song where everything goes chaotic,” explains COASCTCITY
about the inspiration behind the track.
The visuals were shot at The Black Dot Agency in
Miami, FL, directed by Chris
Moreno from famed production house 24KCollective
(El Alfa, Tyga, French Montana, Jay Wheeler) and produced by COASTCITY
and Alex
Goudie. The video takes you through a dark and sensual love
story about a man who meets his new neighbor and instantly becomes infatuated
with her. “We
were able to find a rooftop in Downtown, Miami to get that epic Steven Tyler
type rock performance moment which we all felt the song merited on the
visuals,” affirms COASTCITY.
The 2X Grammy-nominated duo
is highly recognized for working on the vocal production and music direction
side with world-renowned artists such as Beyoncé,
Ricky Martin, The Weeknd, Anitta, Karol G, Sting, and CNCO, to
name a few. In addition, the duo just announced that they will be the musical
producers for an upcoming Disney+ fictional show called 4 EVER
starring the beloved Latin American boy band CNCO set to be released
later this year. Stay tuned for more info and new music on COASTCITY coming
soon!
