Hotel Garuda- Head In The Trees

When it comes to musical output, it’s clear that Hotel Garuda isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Initially comprised of Manila Killa and Candleweather, the duo first became renowned for their feel-good house tunes. Then in the summer of 2018, the duo parted ways, leaving Candleweather to continue on as the face of the brand while Manila Killa pursued a solo career.

Candleweather has since completed a headlining tour as the lone face of Hotel Garuda, and recently followed his string of live performances with the release of a new single, “One Reason.” Now, Candleweather re-enters the electronic release ring to drop his debut single as both producer and vocalist on “Head In The Trees.” His vocals leave the listener wondering why he didn’t share this side of his artistry earlier. The track uses subtle electronic production techniques that skillfully position his infectious vocals alongside strumming guitar chords.

“This is my most personal song to date. I’ve made a name for myself making dance music and I want to show a side of me that hasn’t been shown before. Writing, producing and singing on this track was a challenge that I took on nervously, as I wasn’t sure if people would take me seriously as an artist until I made something that was entirely mine. ‘Head In The Trees’ is a love song that marks an important change in my life that happened about two years ago, and only now do I feel comfortable with baring this part of me to everyone else,” Candleweather said in a press release.

“Head In The Trees” is out now Mom+Pop.
