Infinity Ink recruit Yasmin for 'How Do I Love You'
Infinity Ink team up with Yasmin for 'How Do I Love You', the band's second single for new label Different Recordings.
Infinity Ink, aka Ali Love and Luca Cazal, revealed their first material for Different – the acid-heavy ‘Too Strong’ – in February, which will feature along with this new cut on their debut album, set for release later this year. Recorded in a studio in the hills of Northern Ibiza and later completed in London, ‘How Do I Love You’, featuring a heartfelt vocal from Yasmin, is Infinity Ink’s contemporary take on original NY house music.
The track is a tribute to Queen Latifah’s ‘How Do I Love Thee’, as Luca explains: “Our friend Elliot used to work for Circoloco in Ibiza, one of main bookers, quite a character. He asked us to record a cover version of ‘How Do I Love Thee’ by Queen Latifah, which was itself based on a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. He had us do a cover version so he could play it to a girl he was pursuing and impress her. It was recorded in a studio on the north of the island owned by Max Etnica, this big psy-trance guy, a very hedonistic environment. That’s how it started. We took it back to London and realised it needed a female vocalist. Yasmin was perfect. The original is spoken word but we turned the vocals into a melody so it’s more of a song-tribute than a cover version.”
