With his last single release ‘Transactional Relationship’ having dropped back in 2019, South London’s Gold Panda returns with a new single titled ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)’.

This latest tune is an upbeat dance-driven handing that is powered by 4×4 drums, chopped vocal and silky soul samples, stabbing effects, as well as a lush, beat changing breakdown. This is definitely a track that is fitting for the summertime. ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)’ is out now via City Slang Records.

Regarding ‘I’ve Felt Better (Than I Do Now)’, Gold Panda stated:

“I made this when my daughter was two years old and I felt knackered and I’d turned 41. The samples just came together and sounded like “I’ve felt better…” and at the same time I was looking at my anti-depressants feeling tired and just thought ‘ha, that’s right!’ I mess with chopping up samples until I get an interesting loop so I never set out to write a track; I’m led by the samples and then go from there. Funnily enough, My life now is actually way better than it was 10 years ago and I’m a bit healthier and I probably actually do feel better in general (apart from when I had that brain haemorrhage last year).”
