Self-produced in London with contributions from <em>Ben Reed</em>, <em>TJ Allen</em>, <em><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/joviale/">Joviale</a></em>, and <em><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/fabiana-palladino/">Fabiana Palladino</a></em>, <em>Yes</em> blends shimmering 80s pop, R&#038;B, dance, and soulful fragments into <em>Groves</em>’ trademark hazy, atmospheric sound, a deconstructed pop record piecing together love and memory.</p>

<p>Following up on <a href="https://highclouds.org/laura-groves-deep-blue-video-yes-ep/">&#8220;Deep Blue,&#8221;</a> the title track, “Yes,” is an uplifting slice of pop that radiates cautious optimism. “I wanted to capture the feeling of finding joy again after a long period of sadness, entering into the unknown against a backdrop of deep unrest and uncertainty,” <em>Groves</em> explains. Built on a foundation of drum machines, FM synths, and a beautifully affected piano line, the song swells with a gritty yet hopeful energy, making it a cathartic listen. Watch her self-made visualizer below. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[“Deep Blue” is taken from Laura Groves' upcoming Yes EP, out August 1st via Bella Union]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At <em>HighClouds</em>, we’ve been fans of <em><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/laura-groves/">Laura Groves</a></em> for a long time, and with good reason. The Bradford-born, London-based artist is a true one-of-a-kind: a singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist whose music always feels rich, thoughtful, and emotionally resonant. Whether she’s working on her own gorgeous solo records (like 2023’s excellent <em>Radio Red</em>), collaborating with <em>Richard Russell</em>’s <em>Everything Is Recorded</em>, or joining <em>Sam Morton</em> on stage, <em>Groves</em> brings a distinct magic to everything she touches. She also hosts the dreamy NTS Radio show <em>Desire Paths</em>, which is well worth a listen if you haven&#8217;t already tuned in.</p>
<p>Now, she’s back with a new project: <em>Yes</em>, a four-track EP arriving August 1st, and its lead single “Deep Blue” is already on repeat over here. The track is lush and immersive, built around a heavy kick drum and shimmering Juno 106 synths, with <em>Groves</em>’ signature vocal warmth pulling you right in. </p>
<p>“Deep Blue is a song about asking somebody to be vulnerable and reveal more of their secret world, whilst also trying to embody those things myself,” she explains. &#8220;There is a directness to the hard kick drum and opening lines of the song &#8211; a confrontation and then an admission of deep feelings, stirred up like a deep blue body of water by the heavily modulated Juno 106 synthesiser. My close friends <em><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/joviale/">Joviale</a></em> and <em><a href="https://highclouds.org/tag/fabiana-palladino/">Fabiana Palladino</a></em> join me on backing vocals in the chorus.&#8221; It’s a bold, beautiful start to an EP that explores memories, love, and transformation, all set against the backdrop of lockdown-era London. </p>
<p><em>Groves</em> even created the video herself, a layered, hypnotic collage that perfectly matches the song’s mood. Watch and support below.</p>
