FABIANA PALLADINO / JAI PAUL – I Care – 7” – Vinyl

7”- Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

On I Care and working with regular collaborator Jai Paul, Fabiana Palladino says I wrote this song on my Juno 106 one night at home and played it to Jai the next day. He instantly came up with a beat and we worked together on the track from there. Ive always loved those Motown duets with Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, or Diana Ross and wanted to create a modern version of that. Were playing with the way those duets have this quite clear notion of romance, love and relationshipswere subverting that a little to explore normativity in relationships. Musically, weve tried to put all of the beauty, excitement, and tension of modern day love into this song.

Fabiana Palladino first broke out in 2017 as one of Paul Institutes founding artists after her shadowy R&B-influenced spectral pop reached Jai Paul, who founded the label alongside his brother A.K. Paul. Releasing three singles in four years, she caught the ear of critics – Pitchfork likened Mystery to a scratch track from a big-budget 80s studio thats been smuggled out on reel-to-reel tape but Palladinos output remained slight. The intervening years have seen her working as an in-demand session musician for the likes of Jessie Ware while intensely striving for pop perfection in her own music. This year, she formed part of Jai Pauls band for his live debut (which she also supported solo), the most wildly awaited performances in years.
