An East London multi-hyphenate, Ryan Gonsalves brings production, vocal, songwriter, sound engineer, MCing and DJing to his headline project, Paleblu. With MC performances at iconic London clubs including Printworks and Fabric, presenting a slot on Reprezent radio and drawing attention from BBC Radio 1 and DSPs, it’s clear that his joyful pop-indulged drum and bass is set to spread throughout the dance scene.
His latest is the newly released ‘want u to know’, bringing glittered dance vibes from the drum breaks and descending vocal melodies with the added indie twinkle of electric guitar and subtle saxophone sways.
It’s an invite to the party and its summer feelings translate to melting the ice. If you need a bit of sun added to your day, Paleblu delivers positivity in spades with love-tinged lyricism and energetic rhythms.
Ryan gives a background to how the track came about, sharing, “I started writing this song in October having gone through a pretty rough time. The music I’d been writing at the time had been quite deep and emotional, I found myself in a phase where a lot of the stuff I was writing was depressing. This was the first song where I thought I’d try and switch the mood to be a bit more positive. I feel like we could all use a bit of hope and positivity right now!”
