Initial Talk feat. Sasha Brown ‘Skydiving’
Luca Discs is proud to release the new single ‘Skydiving’ from Initial Talk featuring Sashsa Brown.
Initial Talk has been making waves with their 1980s-kissed remixes of songs by today's most popular artists. From Lady Gaga to Kylie Minogue to Dua Lipa, Initial Talk transports modern pop classics back to the MTV era.
The Initial Talk remixes of Dua Lipa’s ‘New Rules’ and ‘IDGAF’ have together clocked-in over 14 million streams on Spotify alone.
The last few weeks have seen Initial Talk remixes of Sam Sparro’s ‘Love Like That’ and Perfume Genius’ ‘On The Floor’. Paper Magazine says “Initial Talk has transformed ‘On The Floor’ into a euphoric bop straight out of the Reagan era.”
It’s no surprise Initial Talk’s original tracks follow the same feel-good ‘80s nostalgia of their remixes and ‘Skydiving’ is no exception. Teaming-up with extraordinary London-based vocalist Sasha Brown, ‘Skydiving’ tells the story of a wronged lover who takes the upper hand, all set to a ’80s RnB pop groove. Brown, a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and DJ has been on the rise with her singles ‘Parallel’ ‘Fix Of You’ and the just released ‘How Far Are You Willing To Go?’
The pairing of Initial Talk and and Sasha Brown on ‘Skydiving’ is a match made in pop heaven.

Just released on Australian label Wantok is Frank Yamma's new album "Uncle".
Frank is a highly respected Australian artist.
"Regarded by many as one of Australia’s most important Indigenous Songwriters, Yamma’s brutally honest tales of alcohol abuse, cultural degradation, respect for the old law and the importance of country are spine tingling. His ability to cross cultural and musical boundaries constantly sets new standards through his music."
