Afterglow / You Can't Deny

Lucky Me present Afterglow, the brand new single from Jacques Greene, alongside fan favourite and summer hit single You Can’t Deny. Exclusive to vinyl, this 12” features the extended versions of both Afterglow and You Can’t Deny. It’s been two long years since we last heard new music from the Canadian artist and producer who helped revolutionize the palette of new dance music with his contemporary RnB influences. Now one of dance music’s most enigmatic young talents returns with the masterful ’Afterglow’, an immediate, bright, soulful, techno record about the beauty of human connections, plus this summer’s surprise club anthem You Can’t Deny. Born and raised in Montreal, now residing in Toronto via New York’s Lower East Side, Jacques Greene broke out of a generation of independent electronic labels like Uno, 3024, Night Slugs and Lucky Me as a genre-defining artist (via 2011’s Another Girl, one of Pitchfork’s Songs Of The Decade) who laid the blueprint for countless young producers and DJs inspired by the intersection of contemporary music such as hip hop, RnB, house and techno. Greene’s music has a remarkable aptitude for expressing a range of broadcasts - bittersweet melancholia and pure euphoria, drawn from micro inflections and palettes of gut wrenching-soul. Its brick- compressed Detroit-stabs serve to cut through club systems beneath intricate loops of electronics that interplay with disembodied, anthemic calls. With Afterglow and You Can’t Deny Jacques Greene declares himself back and renewed. Jacques Greene’s collaborations include Tinashe, Majid Jordan and How To Dress Well alongside deliberately limited remix work for Sampha, Shlohmo, Autre Ne Veut and Radiohead, to large scale installations at London’s Tate Modern.
