Popof - Popof feat. Arno Joey – Words Gone
The Hot Creations imprint continues its hot streak with the latest single “Words Gone”, from Parisian luminary POPOF in advance of his forthcoming artist album Love Somebody out on June 29.
Featuring the handsome voice of Arno Joey, “Words Gone” is a stunning slice of electronic music with crossover appeal, giving us a taste of what is in store for the album. Cadenza boss Luciano’s remix dives into tribal percussion, while main man Jamie Jones flips into a new gear, introducing a new melody, deep pads and emotive keys. Canadian techno legend Marc Houle is last to remix, using a bright synth melody to add a new groove.
