Electronic music producer Softest Hard and GRAMMY award winning, multi-faceted artist T-Pain have collided on a planet-sized dance collab titled “I’m Blue,” a crossover single soaked in nostalgia, out now on HARD Recs.
On “I’m Blue” Softest Hard and T-Pain reach into the vault to pluck out one of the most iconic dance records of all time, Eiffel 95’s anthem whose vocal hook has been permanently branded into our brains since its 1998 release.
T-Pain interpolates the topline with his seminal auto-tuned flair, while Softest Hard colors the beat with iridescent synth progressions, tight trap drums, cowbell hits, swinging sax flourishes, and remnants of the original production. The end result is a modern twist on the classic that today’s world never knew it needed.
T-Pain on the song: “Working with Softest Hard on recreating this 90s classic has been a blast. I’m a longtime dance music enthusiast so this collaboration is something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. Hope you all enjoy it!”
Softest Hard shares a few words on the collaboration: “‘I’m Blue” is one of the biggest dance records on my album. It was an honor to work with the super talented legend, T-Pain. It’s a refreshing twist to such a feel-good , nostalgic record. It’s the perfect middle ground between soft and hard.”
The genre-blurring producer Softest Hard has been on an unstoppable roll as she slowly creeps towards the release of her highly anticipated debut album. The first two singles have already seen her rub shoulders with two Grammy Award-winning powerhouses: initially partnering up with Stacy Barthe on the effervescent “Do Over,” and then following up that act with her steamy sophomore offering, “La Luz,” alongside Latin sensation Kali Uchis. It’s been nothing short of a star-studded affair thus far, and yet she’s still somehow managed to take things up a notch on the LP’s third track.
Softest Hard and T-Pain’s new single “I’m Blue” is available on all platforms via HARD Recs.
