LP Giobbi, the rising US pianist, DJ, producer, entrepreneur, activist, and founder of FEMME HOUSE, has just released her second single since signing with revered independent label Ninja Tune, via their imprint Counter Records. “Forever And A Day” pairs LP Giobbi’s innate sense of melody and sweeping piano arrangements with blissful pop vocals by Caroline Byrne, rendering a transcendent daybreak epiphany via their shared expansive emotional palette. LP Giobbi states "This track started in a much darker / heavier place, but once Caroline Byrne wrote to the track it took on a whole new dimension of beauty that allowed me to rework some of music to highlight her wonderful voice and lyrics."

The new song follows last month’s subtle but instantly unshakeable single, “All In A Dream (feat. DJ Tennis & Joseph Ashworth),” whose blend of live instrumentation and bold contemporary production put a hypnotic spin on the disco-fied sound of early house music, quickly nabbing a “Essential New Tune” designation from Pete Tong and a Spotify billboard for the song in Times Square. The unique panoply of influences - as much indebted to her love of DJ culture as to her her degree in piano performance at UC Berkeley and her upbringing by Deadhead parents - is part and parcel of her quest to become what she calls “a one-woman jam band,” utilizing her jazz-trained skills as an improviser to add live piano and modular electronics to her performances. 

Taken as a pair, the two singles point toward a period of sustained musical growth for LP Giobbi, coming in the wake of her recent nomination for Breakthrough Producer in DJ Mag’s Best of North America Awards and BBC including her set from Defected as part of Radio 1’s Dance Weekend. The songs are certain to become fixtures in future live sets as she crisscrosses the globe on a run of festival dates this Summer, with many more to come.
