Black Orange Juice Find Love On a Boat with ‘Started in Paris’

Black Orange Juice 'Started in Paris' Stream

Black Orange Juice’s latest is dubbed “Started in Paris,” but the new group’s story began in London many years ago. Acclaimed producer Ossie (Hyperdub, 20/20 Vision, FACT, Red Bull) enlisted two of his childhood friends for his latest project — singers Paul Black and Tillz, whose comely R&B vocals perfectly round out the Chicago house core and disco kiss of the beatwork.

True Panther Sounds will release 3 Started Alone, a four-track EP from Black Orange Juice, on September 23. Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard will contribute a remix of “I Don’t Know,” but the aforementioned “Paris” is, indeed, a great place to start. Building from a chopped swell of strings and a bouncybass rhythm, the song is instantly celebratory with the lyrics to match: “It started in Paris, on a boat / Felt so much love, when we got close.”
