London-based future-soul collective 10:32 have today released their new single + video ‘Coffee Shop Girl’ and announced their return to Aotearoa in March!
Releasing it off the back of opening for Aotearoa legends SIX60 at their sold-out London show, ‘Coffee Shop Girl’ takes you on a 10:32 magic-making groove party. Inspired by a band member’s crush on someone at their local coffee shop, ‘Coffee Shop Girl’ then grew into a song about “falling in love with the possibility of things being better.”
10:32’s sound draws on influences from jazz, hip hop, breakbeat, house, RnB, and the use of analogue synth, effect-drenched vocals, grooves and breakdowns – think Hiatus Kaiyote, D’Angelo and Erykah Badu – and ‘Coffee Shop Girl’ is no different. Made with the support of NZ On Air, lead vocalist and Aotearoa original, Bridget Walsh says, “a coffee is what you drink in the morning to get you started – it’s full of potential – a spark, an energy of looking forward to seizing the day. ‘Coffee Shop Girl’ is our first release from when we escaped to a farm in rural Oxfordshire in 2021 to conjure up a new record. It feels right to start this new 10:32 chapter with that same fresh energy”
While the group are London-based, Aotearoa audiences are going to be treated to ‘Coffee Shop Girl’ live, along with a preview of what’s to come, when 10:32 return to NZ for their tour in March. They’ve also teamed up with Peoples Coffee for special 10:32 Limited Edition beans, available at their shows.
