j-pastel – 'Senegal'

Bedroom pop duo j-pastel share new single ‘Senegal’ – the striking lead single to their upcoming debut EP set for release in January 2021.

“Senegal is a song about going to the ends of the earth to be with the person you love,” j-pastel say about the track. A beautiful notion that is reflected in their groove-infused melodies and funky basslines. Dynamic guitars mix with airy vocals and create a perfect 80s vibe that invites to dance around the kitchen. ‘Senegal’ is a true gem for fans of carefree sounds and anthemic rhythms. “Life is better with you” goes the track’s infectious chorus and, talking more about the overall theme, the duo add: “It could be anywhere, but as long as you're together it doesn't matter.”

j-pastel pull up the blinds and let the sunshine in. Listening to their bright and bubbly rhythms, it’s impossible to stay in a bad mood. ‘Senegal’ is the kind of song you play at full volume to cast out the clouds of a gloomy day and, if this lead single is anything to go by, j-pastel will be welcoming in the new year with a bedroom pop party on upcoming debut EP.
