Jon Hopkins has collaborated with Imogen Heap on a new track which, honestly, is a marriage made in heaven. It does seem strange that they haven’t crossed paths before, and Jon Hopkins agrees.

He says: “I’d been building this piece for something like a year and kept coming back to it, but it never quite felt interesting enough to me – then Immi and I were interviewed together on BBC 6 Music and found ourselves wondering, on air, how we’d never actually made a track together.”

“Later that night I was back in the studio on this tune and realised her singing and writing was what it needed.”

Heap continues: “I’d been writing almost like a diary, but also writing words that sounded nice with each other, things with a nice stanza. Jon sent me this track and I loved it. Something pretty devastating had happened that day and I was upstairs, unable to go downstairs and I had it on my headphones. I immediately felt so positive and grateful that I had this outlet, and that these words were magically feeling really nice with what Jon had done.”

Get on this.
