“Electric Love” was Barbette Records’ fifth release of 2021. Deanne Matley’s version was released Friday, August 13, 2021, “Electric Love” is a Jazz/Pop Cover initially written and performed by the group called Børns in 2014.
Originally an upbeat shuffle, Deanne partnered up with her good friend and fellow Montreal musician David Ryshpan and created an original “ballad” arrangement of the song. Over the past few months, Deanne has been working on it with her vocal coach Jennifer Meade helping her dig deeper into her essence as a vocalist. When asked multiple times why she didn’t change the pronoun from “she” to “he” while recording the song, her response was, “Because the reality is, it doesn’t matter, what matters is the message the lyrics are conveying, and that is one of deep connection, whatever the pronoun may be.” This cover is emotional, raw, and sure to captivate its listeners’ hearts.
The song was recorded at Boutique de Son in Montreal, QC by legend George Doxas with David Ryshpan on piano, Morgan Moore on upright bass, and Richard Irwin on drums.
