Award-winning songwriter and producer, Tannergard, embodies his uplifting and altruistic approach to electronic music on his new single “I Got You”.
Brimming with the nostalgic energy from a milestone summer, when melancholic goodbyes and sincere promises of friendship were set in stone, “I Got You” is the perfect fusion of pop melodies, electronic groove and a stunning vocal duet featuring Tannergard himself. Born of an idea created during the lockdown summer of 2020, “I Got You” is a track that has evolved over four years, with countless mixdowns, masters and tweaks finally bringing his vision to life – each new iteration adding a fresh layer of real-world experience to create a timeless anthem of positivity.
“At some point, we all need somebody to lean on and for me, this record came about at a time when the whole world needed emotional support. Mental health challenges are very real, so I wanted to make a song to remind my friends, family, my collaborators in music, romantic partners and especially the human staring back at me in the mirror, that no matter what happens, there is always someone looking out for them.” – Tannergard
The result is a tangible demonstration of the attitude that Tannergard applies to every aspect of his life and career – a kindness that extends to family, strangers, and colleagues alike. This genuine attitude has paid off, with song writing credits on Cat Burns’ 2 x platinum single “Go”, ‘Song of the Year’ at the A&R Awards, three Brit nominations and hundreds of millions of streams, Tannergard’s prolific production credits are undeniable. “I Got You”, however, is the moment when Tannergard takes the spotlight, and sets the scene for a run of releases that demonstrate his inimitable sound and artistry.
His sound is rooted in the emotional storytelling of classic pop records – timeless tracks that make you feel something – but energised by the big room energy of the electronic music that soundtracked his formative years. Now, the producer is able to bring these threads together and make sense of the disparate styles that can be found across his work and present a new offering to the world that is distinctly, and unequivocally, the Tannergard sound.
