Mi Casa are back, baby! As their latest single ‘Mamela’ continues to take the country by storm, the local trio are switching things up just a little bit as they team up with Berlin-based electronic act YouNotUs for ‘Chucks’.
The track serves as the fifth official single from their latest studio album ‘We Made It’ album and is a tribute to living well.
Earmarked as an important song from the album off the bat, the single has been waiting in the wings for the right time to bring some of that Mi Casa spirit back into the party feels. To give the track a refreshed feel, the trio tapped Berlin-based electronic act YouNotUs to give the song a dynamic redesign.
Mi Casa front man J’Something says the song has been an important one for him since he wrote it. “It’s about making the most of every single moment because the future is not a given – all we have is right now and that time needs to be lived,” he says of the track.
Having the opportunity to collaborate with international, multi-platinum EDM front-runners YouNotUs is an example of where Mi Casa’s musical ambition has seen them reach. “Getting the YouNotUs touch to Chucks has completely transformed it and we cannot wait to see how it lifts people’s spirits and hopefully it will land on fertile soil,” J’Something adds.
Luckily for technology, the two acts were able to collaborate completely remotely during lockdown and working with the Mi Casa track brought out all the summer feelings in the Berlin-based act. “During the production we were inspired by the longing for warm summer nights spent partying. We feel this song will guide us back into summer and a more carefree time”, Tobias and Gregor from YouNotUs state.
An official music video will be released for the track in the next two weeks with both Mi Casa and YouNotUs jetting off to Namibia to record.
