[ ReleaseNotes ]L
: :
After signing to the Toolroom in 2018, Friend Within is finally ready
to unveil his debut album titled 'Hope'. An established producer in his
own right, having worked with countless DJs and producers over the
years Friend Within has come full circle with his debut album 'Hope'.
Written during lockdown in 2020, it is a collection of his finest tunes
to date, packed full of club bangers and dancefloor fillers leaving
little room to disappoint.

The album kicks off with its lead track Holding, the nostalgic strings,
reverberated vocal lines and its old school influenced beat sets the
mood for the album, easing you into the world of Friend Within. Ghetto
Rock picks up the pace, whereas the thunderous bass in Metro is a
Discovery era Daft Punk inspired hit, guaranteed to get any party going
whether you're in Berghain or your own living room.

Released back in 2020, the first single to the album 'For You' is a
self-assured classic house track with no need for an introduction,
maintaining the albums theme of absolute bangers. UR Everything is an
explosive cut set to blow with a fiery intensity unlike any other track
on the album. Up next is Doctor, who enters with its lush arps and
light instrumentation before the huge pumping bassline drops. Colombia
maintains the energy and flow of the album, jumping between percussive
loops and chopped vocals to melodic brass hooks, whilst the rhythm
evolves from breakbeats into a thumping four to the floor disco groove.

Another instant dancefloor classic, Rola is an uplifting Disclosure
esque record sprinkled with subtle hints of Friend Within magic for
good measure. Despite it being one of the more chilled out moments on
the album, 'Love Goes On And On' cements its place as a straight up
house banger. Next up, A-Trak makes an appearance as the pair
collaborate on Know Each Other, upping the ante from their previous
2019 hit 'Blaze'. Going from strength to strength, the late night, feel
good nature of the song speaks for itself and is a definite high point
of the album.

Before it's all over, Triceratops offers one last chance to dance
before reaching its conclusion, culminating with its final track Touch
The Sky. A euphoric number infused with filtered synths, vocoders and
silky-smooth vocals, carrying the track whilst guiding the album to its
uplifting end. Although the album leaves a sense of longing for live
music again, it gives hope that better times are yet to come. Hope is
destined to soundtrack and define nightlife post pandemic, known the
world over as a classic debut by one of the most exciting artists of
this decade.
