Invincibility Gets A New Theme Song With “I Feel High” from Poolside & DRAMA
Los Angeles-based chillwave act Poolside and Chicago electro-R&B duo DRAMA have teamed up for the glossy new single “I Feel High”.
Jeffrey Paradise, the producer behind the “daytime disco” sound of Poolside says of the collaboration, “DRAMA transformed the song from a classic laid back Poolside vibe into a banger for the club that is essentially a celebration of this ecstatic and sometimes reckless thing we call life.”
The combination of both acts creates a layered party track that celebrates the fearlessness of youth. With added vocals and spoken word from DRAMA’s Via Rosa and Na’el Shehade respectively, the upbeat and psychedelic neo-disco track comes alive across multiple dimensions.
In speaking about the theme of the song, DRAMA says, “It’s all about that invincible feeling you get when you’re young, and out with your friends. In the moment you have this undeniable sureness that no matter what ‘this is not how I die’.” DRAMA continues, “And in that you fuel each other you become fearless and confident. When I was younger me and my friends would sneak back into the house after a night of partying, the first thing we’d ask each other before going inside is ‘do I look high?’ And although I really felt the need to incorporate that into the song for ‘personal nostalgia’ I think everyone has experienced that reality.”
