[Listen] Breakbot feat. Irfane - "1 Out Of 2"
French producer and Ed Banger artist Breakbot is most known for his extensive number of remixes, but his latest single might not be what you expect. "1 Out Of 2" is an upbeat number featuring the vocals of his frequent collaborator Irfane. An airy guitar starts this cheesy pop-infused love song, with dreamy piano keys carrying along the whole thing before a guitar solo straight out of the '80s finishes it off. Check out the high quality radio rip below (via Stereogum).
The "1 Out Of 2" single is out on June 18th via Ed Banger Records.
