Complete with numerous dance-ready cuts (The Feels, Easy, Come Undone, No Boundaries, What Can I Do and Hela), a host of uplifting creations (Never Give Up, Never Looking Back, I Can Dream and Life Is A Song) and some more emotive offerings (Can’t Get Enough, Come The Moment and Second Chance), this diverse new opus gives a first-hand insight into Morales’ vast musical musings. Working his magic on Donna Summer’s iconic anthem I Feel Love, and revisiting his own classic In De Ghetto with a new makeover Party In De Ghetto, Morales also demonstrates his innate ability to evolve with the generations, whilst keeping the fibre of his foundations alive.
“Life Is A Song is a collection of music I wrote during the lockdown and is a reflection of where my head is at musically. My personal life is expressed through music, and without travel & touring, I had more time than ever to focus on producing. Over that period, and thanks to technology, I worked with some new artists, and collaborated with others that I had worked with before. There are lots of great sounds and textures out there, and I have been evolving and exploring, but always keep that classic groove. There’s plenty more to follow, but for now I hope that it can spread positivity and joy to all who hear it.” – David Morales
