Fly Gypsy ft. Tattiana Aqeel-de Oliveira – “You” Free Download

Fly Gypsy‘s latest single “You” is now available for free download. Be sure to also check out the making of the video above which was shot on location in Jamaica.

Fly Gypsy’s track record for quality music over the past few months hasn’t failed to impress and their newest release, “You” feat. Tattiana Aqeel-de Oliveira, is as strong as ever. The track, the second single off their forthcoming Change For A Dollar EP is a departure from the upbeat sound that encapsulated the duo’s first single, “2 Step,” with producer Alexei Jendayi laying a more mellow instrumental for Kowboy Kom’s vivid imagery. Lines like, “Close your eyes, let me describe for you a beautiful place/ Just use your mind and through the rhyme me and you can escape / The palm trees blue skies, it’s a beautiful day” illustrate Kom’s lyricism and ability with words. Not to be lost in the shuffle, the layers built around Kom’s vocals are just as poignant – Alexei’s production, a perfect blend of strings, horns, and percussion, builds initial emotion, while Tattiana’s sultry voice captures the essence of the song as the chorus arrives.

Speaking on the writing process for “You”, Kom says, “This was a rare instance of love at first ‘write.’ I knew this song was gonna be dope when I finished the first line. The imagery in each line flows together to create a vivid and sometimes abstract movie. When I heard the track I was convinced that we had something really special on our hands.” Alexei, in charge of the production side of things chimed in with, “‘You’ almost didn’t happen. I thought the track was too pretty for the Fly Gypsy sound, but honestly I didn’t fall in love with the song until I heard it on a beach in Jamaica when we were shooting the video for it.” With that being said, be on the lookout for the video for “You” which will be dropping soon. The video for the song was filmed in Jamaica by award winning director Ras Kassa, recognized for his work with Sean Paul, Beenie Man, Damian Marley and Willie Nelson.

The Change For A Dollar EP will be available December 1, 2009 via Fly Gypsy Music.
