Cocoa Futures Share Their Latest Single "Circus"
“‘Circus’ is about patience. Patience seems pretty boring, but it’s secretly banging. You know when you really want something but can wait for it? Trying to get better at that is what ‘Circus’ is about.” Greg, Cocoa Futures
For a song concerned with biding one’s time and taking the unhurried approach, it’s apt that ‘Circus’ is easy in tempo and only gradually reveals its delights. Cocoa Futures’ latest release kicks back with frontman Greg’s soulful vocal and light precipitations of piano and electronics; its chorus raising the temperature before a velvety bass groove takes its cue. “It was the first song we recorded with Brendan,” says Greg of the band’s sessions at Low Four Studios in Manchester. “I like how smooth it’s turned out and will definitely be sending it to Smooth Radio.”
If so, listeners to Smooth – or any number of diverse radio stations – are sure to find a new earworm in ‘Circus’, which was the first song Greg wrote on the piano, an instrument he’s recently been getting to grips with. “I like it because all the notes are there on a table in front of you,” confesses the songwriter.
