Toronto, ON – June 21, 2019 – Local Natives have released an acoustic version of their hit single, When Am I Gonna Lose You off of their brand new album, Violet Street. The new rendition amplifies the song’s profound longing and lush harmonies along with the intimate accompanying video, directed by Jon Chu. The original single is flying up the AAA radio charts, earning #2 most added at the format last week and cracking the Top 5. The single has also rapidly accumulated over 8 million streams with no signs of slowing down.
Taylor Rice says, “When Am I Gonna Lose Yo’ began its life as a sad, stripped down song full of regret over losing something that felt too good to be true. Over the months of completing it, the song became triumphant and hopeful, but we wanted to record a version that captured the ache it had been born with.”
The acoustic When Am I Gonna Lose You follows remixes of the single by underground beat maker, Joey Pecoraro, and acclaimed electronic artist, Medasin. Dancing Astronaut praises the latter, "Medasin masterfully remakes the upbeat indie track into an infectious slow jam reminiscent of sleepy, summer nights."
Local Natives are currently on tour in North America. Their spring run will wrap this Saturday at a SOLD-OUT hometown show at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. The performance follows back-to-back SOLD-OUT Brooklyn Steel shows in NYC. The band has announced additional North American tour dates taking place in the fall. See what the critics are saying about their live show below.
