Real Pleasure is the musical project of writer and producer Kevin Claxton, and here on In Your Arms we find him channeling French Touch by way of LA.
Single In Your Arms leverages a distinctive bassline and combines them with the kind of steely guitar licks that Daft Punk built their careers on. Unlike Daft Punk, however, Real Pleasure lets In Your Arms gently marinade, basking in a hook that is given plenty of space.
Inspired by small house parties in the later period of the COVID pandemic, Claxton wrote In Your Arms between 2022 and 2023. The lyrics were inspired a ‘tender group hug between friends on a living room dance floor at about 2am’, and are performed by LA-based artist Natalie Sawicki. The whole song was written by Claxton, and produced in Los Angeles, lending the song its slower, open aesthetic and a bright sunny style, yet combining it with an emotionally reflective feel.
Check out In Your Arms below, and look out for a forthcoming remix from rave outfit, Adam After Hours.
