GoldFish are known all over the world for their upbeat, live instrumentation-infused music, and their latest offering on Armada Music – made in tandem with Australian artist Xavier Rudd – is of the same irresistibly uplifting disposition. After connecting with the fellow multi-instrumentalist over a mutual love for music and surfing, the South African duo built on Xavier’s 2021 single ‘We Deserve To Dream’ and turned it into a buoyant, hope-laden track designed to light up the world.
“We’ve been huge fans of Xavier for a long time,” GoldFish say. “When he played ‘We Deserve To Dream’ to us back in the summer, the creative juices started flowing straight away. It wasn’t long before we’d put our spin on the track, keeping Xavier’s amazing vocal at the front. It was special to work with a talented instrumentalist who could understand our vision for the arrangement. It’s a bonus that Xavier also surfs – we imagine this one playing whilst we’re all out on the waves!”
