South African producer Jnr SA joins forces with vocal sensation Jinger Stone on the soul-soothing new single “By Your Side”.
The emotive drop comes as Amapiano fans are seeking music that combines the township bounce with emotional softness. The percussive production style of Jnr SA combined with the luscious voice texture of Jinger Stone makes for a really unusual musical combo. They use their relationship to explore love and persistent commitment, presenting the audience with a relaxing hymn for those quiet moments.
The sound architect crafts warm, emotive music from lush synth pads and gorgeous piano chords. He lays a subtle rolling log drum beat under some snappy shaker loops that keep the rhythm moving constantly. Yet the percussive arrangement is spacious, allowing lots of opportunity for the vocals to drift freely without any mix clutter.
Jnr SA’s musical arrangements are done with much attention and a disciplined speed. He builds the music slowly, pulling the listener further into the lulling beat. He makes sure the mix is crystal clear so you can hear every little keyboard layer and drum beat with perfect clarity.
Jinger Stone glides across the vocal end with her lovely delivery and expressive tone. “The lyrics is very much about dedication and just being there for a partner when things get hard and developing that trust that lasts. Her soft delivery and hypnotic melodies make the intimate expression of love a very real experience.
