BLOND:ISH, Moby, and Kiko Franco collaborate on ‘Natural Blues’, released on Defected Records. This fresh version combines BLOND:ISH’s upbeat piano patterns and vibrant synth stabs with Moby’s sample-led sound.
Kiko Franco adds his distinctive melodic leads and Afro House percussion, crafting a track that builds tension before its main drop. BLOND:ISH describes how the collaboration emerged: “Moby randomly called me (I never met him, just idolized him since I was a kid) and asks: ‘Wanna remix one of my songs?’ I’m like, ‘Any song?!’ He’s like, ‘Yep, pick one.’ I was with Kiko in Rio, Brazil – so we laid down two ideas in the studio… one felt special and before we knew it, the remix turned into a collab.”
Kiko Franco shares his perspective: “We worked on the track remotely, her in Miami and myself in São Paulo. We went through a couple of drafts and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It perfectly showcases how all of our strong points came together. BLOND:ISH is a powerhouse and welcomed me with open arms.”
