Setting the tone with a meditative energy, reverberating bell frequency and synth details, notevenstevens and Femme Fatene open their collaborative single, Patina with futuristic and intricately designed atmospheric vocals.
The opus expands into an electronic dream-pop meets hyperpop adjacent vibe, and we are totally hypnotized. Patina means “to go skating” in Spanish. The release is a English-Spanish fusion track that speaks of “being a free spirit.”
Femme Fatene is an artist who plays with the perspective of women who refuse to meet expectations, a “Femme Fatale”, and notevenstevens is chart-topping, rising star from Australia.
The duo confess, “We wanted to create something truly unique, Patina is a reflection of our care-free spirits and our beliefs wrapped up in a cosmic listening experience.”
We appreciate the depth and poetic poetic prowess that notevenstevens and Femme Fatene share with Patina, and the metaphorical energy that the track exudes, both lyrically and sonically in line with the concept of the release.
It is no surprise that notevenstevens has charted at #4 in Australia and #31 in Canada on iTunes, and boasts 6.5+ million impressions on TikTok. Femme Fatene is a highly talented feminist woman of colour, who has landed multiple editorial playlists alongside Joe Crepusculo, booked to sign the 50th Edition of Manchester Carnival, Winners for the Havanna Club 2022 Edition and is supported by award winning producers like Dam Funk (who worked with Snoop Dogg, Mac Miller and more). We power and high frequency that they both bring to the track is tangible.
We are in awe of the sonic design and detail, as well as the authenticity that the artists share with the release, and have added Patina to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we further explore the discographies of both notevenstevens and Femme Fatene!
