Chaos In The CBD has released a new single titled “Maintaining My Peace.”
The production duo from Peckham is set to unveil their debut album this summer, with “A Deeper Life” scheduled for release on May 9th. This project showcases a remarkable range, with the duo collaborating with numerous featured artists on the album.
The new single “Maintaining My Peace” exudes a serene, Balearic vibe while showcasing the duo’s enduring affection for G-funk.
Paying tribute to strong West Coast influences, Chaos In The CBD enlisted Immanuel Simelane on bass and Alex Cosmo Blake on guitar to add authentic textures.
With Novelist and Stephanie Cooke contributing their unique flair, "Maintaining My Peace" presents a rich tapestry of sound.
The producers shared their thoughts…
From the very start, we knew the instrumental needed Nov's distinctive voice, and he effortlessly glided over it. Novelist was first introduced to our music by his mother, and after reaching out, he sent us a voice note from LA expressing his eagerness to collaborate as soon as he returned to London. You can hear that message at the very beginning of the track—a nod to the start of this journey.
However, we felt something was still needed—a hook, and we knew exactly who to approach. After a lengthy search, we were thrilled to connect with one of our all-time favorite soulful house vocalists, Stephanie Cooke. To our delight, she was enthusiastic about joining us. Her vocals infused the track with the warmth and emotion it required—she was the perfect finishing touch.
