Need For Speed is back with a bouncing new single. To an evocative beat they tell the romantic story about the city. The fierce hometown, the streets, the darkness and the love. This is the backseat of a cab running through the neon lights. It’s the drunken dance floor. Need For Speed has been releasing singles through the year and this is the most uptempo and head-nodding almost danceable.

After a row of delicate singels that gained them more and more listeners, Need For Speed was in 2019 finally ready for the release of their debut album ”Split Visions” but now it’s 2022 and they have moved on. In 2022 we will see a duo that get rid of all boundaries, no rules for how to do things and out in the open. First single for the year was the somewhat claustrophobic ”Happy Thoughts”, the second one was the smooth "Love Letter”, now we are lingering to ”My City".
…and everything started in Malmö, Sweden.
In 2013 the quintet RA is releasing thir debut EP ”Bloodline”, two of the members was Martin Nilsson and Felix Mårtensson. In 2015 the debut album ”Scandinavia” was released and the roumors started to float about this uncompromising guitar driven darkness On the latest release, the EP “Then I Woke Up In Paradise” in 2016, we, for the first time, heard the guitarist Martin on lead vocal, as i turned out, it was not for the last. In 2017 Martin and Felix entered a studio, in Stockholm, together with the Swedish artist and producer Johan T Karlsson, also known as the artist Familjen and the first tunes that is Need For Speed’s debut album is taking shape, not soon after the first single C/o is released. Heading back to Malmö they also start working with producer Joakim Lindberg in his Studio Sickan and this the beggining of what should be no less than 4 singles leading up to the album. All singles gained a lot of attention especially in Sweden where they where added high on national radio rotation.
The debut album ”Split Visions” showcased a broader palett of feelings then what the singles indicated. Room for slower pieces and contemplation, a longing for more than the feeling of coming home late in the morning feeling sour and hoping that someone is willing to receive all their unconditional love.
Need For Speed is something else than RA. Where RA is violent and nihilistic, Need For Speed is elegant and cool. RA is linear, Need For Speed is groovy. RA is electric guitars Need For Speed is electronic, but both acts is running from the darkness just in differens pace.
Need For Speed is an inferno of will and intentions, suppressed feelings, two dogs and a speed lane. The perfect party is over and the sun comes up, things are complicated. It’s RnB and indie-electronic, it’s pop music and slow-groove.
