TRESOR shared his excitement about the release of “Aphrodite" saying: “I am truly thrilled to share this collaboration with my Beatenberg brothers. The song was written and produced in Cape Town throughout summer last year. Matthew and I wanted to create a musical piece that reflects the sounds that we both grew up listening to. We both love Greek mythology and history, so we wanted to play with the idea of falling deeply in love with Aphrodite, an ancient Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. We had so much fun making this song and I think we created something truly magical. Excited to share it with the world."
While Matt added: “I am grateful to have been able to work with Tresor again; I've learned a lot from him and it's always a pleasure to hang out and make music together. This song has been ‘in the works’ for a while and I’m very fond of it. I remember driving on the highway at night after a session listening to the rough version and feeling a particular way. I looked forward then to when other people would get to hear it – now that's happening and I'm very glad.”
Nostalgia is set to drop in January 2019 on all music platforms. Fans can officially pre-order the album and immediately enjoy the new single “Aphrodite” with Beatenberg.
