Originally written during lockdown as an acoustic track called “Go the Distance”, “Can U Feel It,” is an affirmation of the power of love to bridge any distance. Katie explains, “I wrote the original acoustic track during lockdown as an affirmation that connections continue even when we are separated – that love can go the distance. I invited my good friend Michael Doiley to attend the (very strange) socially distant launch of the album “Flame” in 2021 and was thrilled when he said he’d like to remix ‘Go the Distance.” With his production wizardry and sensitivity to the song’s original message, Michael indeed created two magical EDM remixes to help dancers and listeners feel the connective power of love.
Michael brings his unique touch to the remix single. He says: “As a producer, it’s my job to make sure all elements are blended as seamlessly as possible. Especially as this is essentially a multi-genre collaboration. This journey has been enlightening as much as it’s been fun, and the mix sounds fresh whenever I hear it, with Katie’s hypnotic vocals stealing the show every time. Love it.”
The single also features on Katie’s latest album, “Flame” (2021), which follows three previous albums and a track to accompany the award-winning film about the Dalai Lama, “Road to Peace” (2012).
Releasing “Can U Feel It,” on March 21st is no accident: the release date chimes in with the songs core message of love, hope, connection and renewal.
