“The essence of the record is to draw emotions that above all feel human within the context of dance music. I want it to be celebratory of all that we feel and do and experience - the beautiful, the good, and the bad.” - Jacques Greene
“True” comes ahead of this week’s release of Jacques Greene’s debut album Feel Infinite, due out March 10 (digital) / March 24 (vinyl) via Arts & Crafts, and this bittersweet single sees How To Dress Well reunited with Jacques Greene, following their 2014 collaboration, On Your Side. “True” was written in sessions together in London last Summer and mixed in Atlanta by Alex Tumay – the engineer behind a raft of new hip hop including Young Thug, Travis Scott, and Future.
Jacques Greene makes music to evoke utopian ideas of dance music - music about the club, as well as for the club. On “True” he’s enlisted old friend and collaborator Tom Krell (aka How To Dress Well) to deliver one of his most compelling performances to date: riding the beat with syncopated delivery the main vocal is left raw – a live take surrounded by flickering autotune and reverb. As with much of Jacques Greene’s music it respectfully denies the tropes of a single genre and comes out as something unique, honest and idiosyncratic.

Recently nominated for a JUNO Award for Dance Recording of the Year, Jacques Greene is the enigmatic, young artist who broke out of a generation of independent electronic labels Uno, 3024, Night Slugs, and LuckyMe as a genre-defining producer and DJ via 2011’s “Another Girl” – one of Pitchfork’s Songs of the Decade, 2013 favourite “On Your Side” ft. How To Dress Well as well as 2016’s club anthem and recent JUNO Award nominated track “You Can’t Deny”. Jacques Greene crafted a musical blueprint that inspired a generation who were raised at the intersection of contemporary music in the 90s: hip hop, RnB, house and techno.
PRE-ORDER FEEL INFINITE HERE
At its heart, Feel Infinite is a record about the utopian idea of club culture - music about the club, as well as for the club in and of itself. Written over the course of two years, this debut album is the purest, most personal expression of the Jacques Greene sound created by the born and raised Montrealer, renowned for collaborating and remixing Tinashe, Radiohead, Sampha, andShlohmo. Present on the record are Jacques Greene RnB vocal chops that he popularised in new club music - but here he returns to their original purpose: his own reference to Masters Of Work. Where they drew from their primary influence in disco, JG draws upon his own formative chart music.
