Establishing the mood with an enigmatic horn riff followed by immersive keys, 5 Day Forecast opens his debut single, To the Edge with a crisp vocal and the powerful lyrics, “Work your fingers to the bone, I know you can keep me warm, don’t you leave me scared and cold…”
To the Edge expands into a euphoric, tropical meets future house hybrid soundscape, and we are obsessed. 5 Day Forecast is the brainchild of DJ Joe Speziale who was born and raised in Philadelphia, and currently living in St Petersburg, Florida.
With reference to the meaning of the track, 5 Day Forecast tells us that “To The Edge is about a couple who have so much intense energy and passion that they can’t get enough of each other.” We love the infectious hook and the intricate lyricism with exquisite vocal production.
Speaking on his intention, 5 Day Forecast confesses, “I wanted a song that feels like you’re at the beach, driving down the shore and drinking with friends.” We really feel this come to life with the piece, which is transportive and evocative.
Elaborating on his inspiration, Joe mentions “Love songs that evoke emotion and have a vibe that takes you to another place”. He cites artists like Kygo, Sam Feldt and Porter Robinson as peers and influences, although it is clear to us that 5 Day Forecast is creating a universe of his own.
It is no surprise that 5 Day Forecast has already performed with national acts like Sickkick (who recently collaborated with Madonna), Waka Flocka Flame and Serafin, and with brands Student City and Barstool.
We cannot wait to hear more from the rising star and have added To the Edge to our New Music Spotlight playlist!
