"Spotlight" Hermitude ft Daniel Bedingfield

Friday 11th September 2020

Release date: Out now Label:

It’s difficult to find a duo that has defined Australian music as much as Hermitude. El Gusto and Luke Dubs have consistently kept evolution and experimentation at the forefront of their craft, paving new directions amongst the electronic, hip-hop and pop spaces. September 4th, the pair offer a new single, “Spotlight (feat. Daniel Bedingfield)” via Elefant Traks/Nettwerk.

Known for his 2003 smash “Gotta Get Through This,” Daniel Bedingfield lends his voice and songwriting skills to “Spotlight” bringing a strong pop sensibility to Hermitude’s future-facing production, fusing together a myriad of R&B influenced house and elevated basslines.

“Spotlight” is the first of three new tracks that will appear on Hermitude’s Pollyanarchy (Deluxe), a reissue of their 2019 Pollyanarchy album which will be released on November 13, exactly one year from the date of its original issue. Hermitude’s sixth record hit #6 on Australia’s ARIA charts & emphasizes the duo’s knack for forward-thinking experimentalism. It highlights an evolved and matured take on the sound that pushed them into realms beyond what they’d explored in the past, aided by a list of guest collaborators including Buddy & BJ The Chicago Kid, Vic Mensa who made his mark on “Dusk Till Dawn,” Bibi Bourelly, a co-writer on Rihanna’s “Bitch Better Have My Money,” Electric Fields and Haiku Hands among others.

Watch out for a massive remix package to come in the next few weeks too !
