Spain: W Hotels Worldwide has announced the latest release from its newest music initiative, W Records.
Greco-Roman/City Slang recording artist Roosevelt, the Cologne-based singer, songwriter and producer Marius Lauber, will release the first of his two singles with W Records. “Falling Back,” also known as “Cape Cod,” was recorded in the W Sound Suite at W Barcelona and is a song Roosevelt often plays live and at the request of his fans. Never recorded until now, Roosevelt has decided to finally release this track via W Records.
Roosevelt said: “After a lot of touring, it felt great to be able to be in an environment where I could focus on the music 24/7. Being in a studio inside of a hotel was a whole new experience for me, I didn’t even consider the possibility before. The W Sound Suite is great to work in, it’s cosy, but also has the right equipment to record.”
W Records is once again reaching beyond the music to support a cause that is important to both W and the artist. All W Hotels proceeds from the streaming of “Falling Back” will go to SOS MEDITERRANEE, a European, maritime-humanitarian organisation dedicated to rescuing lives in the Mediterranean Sea. It was founded by European citizens who chartered the rescue vessel Aquarius in order to save people in distress in the Central Mediterranean. The organisation’s four headquarters are located in Berlin (Germany), Marseilles (France), Palermo (Italy) and Geneva (Switzerland).
Anthony Ingham, global brand leader at W Hotels Worldwide, added: “We are continuing to push the boundaries of the guest experience with incredible talent like Roosevelt. With Roosevelt, we’re able to bring a track that has never hit the global stage to music fans and guests all over the world. It’s a privilege to support artists who are passionate about their work and the causes they support and to help make them heard.”
Roosevelt’s self-titled debut album reached the Top 20 of Billboard ‘s Dance/Electronic chart.
