Melbourne's JHM and Fractures team up and set temperatures soaring with new disco-fuelled single, 'Fever Dream'
Melbourne’s JHM serves up a tasty slice of the silkiest, funkiest nu disco, teaming up with multi-instrumentalist and producer Fractures for the latest single, ‘Fever Dream’.
Telling the story of a lover found in a club, ‘Fever Dream’ utilises enchanting vocal harmonies and funk-fried disco bass to capture the feeling of falling in lover for a night.
Using lyricism with references to folklore and nursery rhymes alongside fat grooves reminiscent of the disco nightlife scene of the 70s, JHM and Fractures seamlessly blend old and new, creating a new journey through the club and straight to the dance floor through an infectious chorus lined with calls of trumpet and vocal echoes that cue all the disco lights and laser beams.
JHM gets the temperature rising in ‘Fever Dream’, featuring the drippiest, wobbliest of bass wrapping around lusty nu disco. JHM’s dreamy vocals flutter and flow like musical silk, with ‘Fever Dream’ giving sly nods to early 2000s disco revival. Teaming up with Fractures makes for sweetness and light, with an irresistible bounce and insatiable funkiness.
“‘Fever Dream’ captures the feeling of locking eyes with a stranger and knowing something is about to happen between you” says JHM. “It was inspired by a movie I saw about fairy rings and being tricked into dancing all night. In my head it was like the idea of how sometimes being around that person can feel like you almost can’t look away.”
The single marks the first release in a series of singles set to carve JHM out as one to watch in the Melbourne music scene. JHM’s previous singles have garnered significant recognition, debuting on national radio in both Australia and the US, landing her supporting slots for artists among the likes of Hiatus Kaiyote, PANIA, Kira Puru and Queen P, and securing a place as a Converse All Star.
"Fever Dream" is available now on all streaming platforms.
