Producer Ian Chang will release his debut LP 属 Belonging on May 29th via the City Slang imprint. Having previously shared two tracks taken from the forthcoming LP, Chang now hits us with the third single titled ‘Comfort Me’. Enlisting singer Kiah Victoria to provide lush vocals to the cut, the production embodies that of future soul and upbeat electronic stylings, as unorthodox drum shifts take place throughout the tune. Ian Chang has dropped an animated video created by artist Qieer Wang to coincide with the track, which you can stream below.
In a press statement regarding ‘Comfort Me’, Ian Chang wrote:
“Two years ago, I left my creative stomping ground, Brooklyn, to move in with my partner in Dallas, a city where I knew almost nobody. For me, this song represents this shift towards cultivating a more isolated existence and creative practice. Of course, the ironic thing is that this song ended up being the most collaborative one. Kiah Victoria and I have been acquaintances for a decade but we never really connected until she reached out asking me to do a remix for ‘Valet’ off of her incredible album Memo. I was listening to her music a ton at the time so remixing her was a very inspiring process. It must have stuck in my brain because I soon started working on ‘Comfort Me’, and when I was done with the instrumental, I realized that Kiah would be amazing on it.”
