UK-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Rules returns with his latest single ‘Stay Now’, featuring acclaimed Irish vocalist Maverick Sabre.
Following the release of his debut EP As Soon As I Get Home earlier this year, ‘Stay Now’ sees Rules lean into his signature expansive, uplifting production alongside Sabre’s instantly recognisable soulful timbre — with Grammy-winning Paul Harris (collaborations include Elderbrook, Gorgon City, Tïesto) on the writing credits. It’s a combination that lends itself perfectly to a release built for reminiscing on golden, sun-soaked moments.
“’Stay Now’ came from a couple of studio sessions with Maverick Sabre in London earlier this year. Mav’s been a huge influence on me for a long time, so getting in a room together and making something that felt really natural was pretty special”, Rules explains.
On the single he continues: “The track has a lot of emotion to it, featuring some real soulful sections from Mav, upright piano and classic string samples. Having these real and warm organic elements running throughout was really important, while keeping this uplifting and hopeful feeling and a constant rolling energy. There’s something really nostalgic about it.”
