Stream Carlita – ‘Wish You Knew’ below:
Turkish-Italian DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist Carlita (real name Carla Frayman) shares a compelling new single ‘Wish You Knew’, the latest preview from her long-awaited debut album Sentimental, set for release 15th November on Ninja Tune. ‘Wish You Knew’ sees Carlita dip into progressive house proclivities, this time shaped in a more alluring and mysterious atmosphere. The track further showcases Carlita’s versatile production abilities as previously displayed through singles ‘The Moment’, ‘Planet Blue’ and ‘Time’.
The single quickly follows a massively successful Senza Fine party at New York Fashion Week. Carlita was joined by The Blessed Madonna, Luke Alessi and Mia Moretti. The party’s next edition will take place in London 13th September with Confidence Man joining on DJ duties. Carlita also continues a run of tour dates in the UK and US, including Hï Ibiza in Spain, Astra Club (b2b DJ Tennis) Portola in San Francisco and more. See full list of dates below.
Sentimental is the culmination of Carlita’s musical journey years and years in the making. The album notes a creative milestone in her productions, building a sonic narrative using her life experiences as its building blocks. “I want fans to see a different side to me musically,” Carla says. “I think most people come to my shows at clubs and festivals and see me playing lots of big club records but I want people to hear this album and really see a different side to me musically and be left surprised by the sound of it.”
Speckles of these moments, along with a cast of talented friends can be heard first-hand throughout Sentimental. ‘Trouble Symphony’ opens the album with DJ Tennis right at the beginning like how he was at the start of Carla’s career. SG Lewis, acclaimed producer who joined Carlita at Senza Fine’s New York Fashion Week show last year, lends his vocals to lead single ‘The Moment’. ‘Comme Ça Voce’ taps into her Italian roots, featuring vocals from Sicilian musician Orofino. Mascolo, Elderbrook, Julietta and Cleo Simone round out the list of esteemed peers who have contributed their time and talent to Sentimental. As Carla elaborates, “It was an amazing experience working with all the people involved in the album and so great to see how everyone has different creative processes. It was really inspiring for me and also taught me lots of new things along the way.”
Undoubtedly the most important track on the album, the previously released ‘Time’ is a song that has stuck with Carla through many DJ sets. A standout closer to many sets, the song solidifies a palpable connection between Carlita and any crowd she plays to, making it a perfect ending to a transcendent experience. The song serves a similar purpose as the penultimate track on Sentimental; a heartfelt statement that not only encompasses the overarching thesis to her debut, but it also cements Carlita as an exceptional producer and songwriter. “There’s so much thought process that goes into an album and that’s why it’s taken so long for me to be truly happy with it. The creative process has been amazing albeit stressful at times but it’s been so rewarding.”
Sentimental arrives 15th November with ‘Wish You Knew’ out now.
