Canadian Electronic Producer Tails Joins Forces With Aussie Singer-Songwriter Benji Lewis For New Hit Single “is that ok?”

British Columbia-based producer/songwriter Tails, known to his friends as Spencer Reid, has returned with his new single “is that ok?” featuring Australian singer-songwriter Benji Lewis. Incorporating hints of indie pop into the dance track, the pair make for a fun collaboration that is both nostalgic and futuristic.

The new track came to be after Benji sent a voice note to Tails, who immediately connected with the idea. “I had been listening to some of Tails music a fair bit around that time and was really liking the vibe and emotion it brought with it”, Benji shares. “I thought that my idea could fit into what he was doing so I sent it over. He got back to me saying he definitely wanted to work on something with it. I remember the first demo sounding really cool and being so ready for it to come out ever since.”

A wonderful blend of worlds, the indie dance tune is a shift in style for Tails, as he lets his creativity explore new avenues: “Lately, most of my songs start by playing a progression on my guitar and sketching some general melodies with my voice! I’ve been getting very interested in boutique synth plugins and gear that have been making their way into my creative process.”

On the meaning of the lyrics, Benji shares: “It’s about remembering, thinking over and over again about this person you had something really special with. In a way I’m telling them that I’m still feeling this way after some time has passed, hoping that it’s ok with them as we did continue trying to be friends after things ended. Feelings and attachment can be crazy, some don’t ever go away I’m finding.”

Washed with emotion and textured dance beats, “is that ok?” is a brilliant release from two very talented emerging acts.
