I wanna dance like nobody is looking
I’m in the kitchen, but I dont know what we're cooking
What am I trying to prove? Does it even matter anyway?
If I dont make it now, come back another day
I just want an excuse
To stop the clock and go offline
I want to turn off the news
Maybe I just need a little time
Let me find the time
To get my head around it
I've got to love myself
I need some time to think
Before I can sound it
Before I give it to someone else
Time is precious, so I don’t want waste mine
And everybody's tryin to tell me how to live my life
I’m lookin for a way, for a sense of direction
But only find it when I look at my reflection
Give me some time here on my own
I just wanna be left alone
Too many voices in my ear
I need some peace in my head so i can hear
What I’m trying to tell myself
To figure it out without your help
Just what is cooking in my kitchen
A few highs and lows that I’m still missing
Let me find the time
To get my head around it
I've got to love myself
I need some time to think
Before I can sound it
Before I give it to someone else

There’s no words to describe what you’ve done to me
And we dont have to talk about it
I put my heart out there for everyone to see
For you to take a piece of it
And you know that I’m all yours
But maybe thats just not enough
So if I lose myself in here
Are you gonna be the one to pick me up?
When I’m down and out
Not shure about
Just where we’re going to
When I lose my sight
In the darkest night
My only light is you
Will you pick me up?
We must be on some telepathic energy
You take the words right out of my mouth
I love the melody that you sing to me
Seems you got me figured out
And you know that im all yours
Hope thats gonna be enough
When I’m face down on the floor
Are you gonna be the one to pick me up?
When I’m down and out
Not shure about
Just where we’re going to
When I lose my sight
In the darkest night
My only light is you
Will you pick me up?

People will say many things
But they shouldn’t
They will try to break us up
But they couldn’t
No they can’t do that (do that – do that)
No they can’t do that (do that – do that)
I’m feeling stronger than ever
And it’s because of you
We’re even stronger together
You cant deny the truth
No you can’t do that (do that – do that)
No they can’t do that (do that – do that)
So let’s fight
Opposites attract like day and night
But they can’t separate us
Let’s fight
Back against back – let them attack
You know they cant break us
Let’s fight
Sometimes it might seem
Like the world is against us
They will try to make us crack
But they can’t do that (no they can’t do that)
You put me in your prayers
Every single time
Nothing ever felt this way
For you I’d give my life
You know I would do that (do that – do that)
You know I would do that (do that – do that)
Beautiful got a new meaning
When you let me inside
I’m forever changed since I’ve seent it
And we created new life
Did we really do that (do that – do that)
Can’t believe we did that (do that – do that)
So let’s fight
Opposites attract like day and night
But they can’t separate us
Let’s fight
Back against back – let them attack
You know they cant break us
Let’s fight
Sometimes it might seem
Like the world is against us
They will try to make us crack
But they can’t do that (no they can’t do that)
When Im all broken down
When Im stuck and cant get out
When I need a release
You’re the only one who can do that for me
When I feel so alone
When Im loosing control
When I’ve nowhere go
You’re the only one who sees – the only one knows (Repeat)
So let’s fight
Opposites attract like day and night
But they can’t separate us
Let’s fight
Back against back – let them attack
You know they cant break us
Let’s fight
Sometimes it might seem
Like the world is against us
They will try to make us crack
But they can’t do that (no they can’t do that)

Award-winning danish artist, producer and songwriter Jonas Rendbo, has been praised media all over the world, as the Godfather of Scandinavian Soul. A heavy title, which hints at the importance Jonas’ has had, as a contributor to the genre, over a few decades. With a unique and distinctive sound of his own, he has consistently been releasing quality music, and touring, both as a solo artists, but also always involved in many side-projects, and investing in new artists, to pass on the torch to.
His latest release was a collaboration with the british producer and songwriter The Scratch Professer, who many will recognize for the work he has done with his brother, the british soul music icon Omar Lyefook. Together Jonas and Scratch crafted a handful of songs, which became the EP “4ward Fast To Future”, that was released May 2020. The EP received a warm reception with worldwide soul music radios, it premiered on
SoulBounce.com and
ScandinavianSoul.com, and was “Featured Album” of the month on
SoulTracks.com
Now comes “4ward Fast To Future (remixes)”, which is 7 re-makes of some of the songs from the EP, done by friends and musical partners, in quite different styles. Here’s a run-down of the songs and remixers:
1. What’s Cooking (Soulrebel Remix)
Soulrebel is the alias of swedish super producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Fridell. He’s is a longtime close friend and collaborator of Jonas, and his own solo-projects are also released through Jonas Music. Of course, he plays all instruments on this very organic remix.
2. What’s Cooking (Dadson Remix)
Poppy reggae vibes on this one. As the name Dadson suggests, this remix is the result of a collaboration between Mogens Palsbøll and his son Marcus. Mogens is also a very close friend, and has been holding the position as bass-man in Jonas’ band, since the release of the first album in 2005.
3. What’s Cooking (JVC Remix)
DJ John Vincent is a highly respected and progressive DJ and producer from Copenhagen, Denmark. He tours with the biggest artists in R&B and hip hop, produces music for different artists and is 1/2 of the concept and show
DoseSampu.com. This remix speeds up the song, and makes it more current and danceable.
4. What’s Cooking (The Scratch Professer Retwist)
A trademark retwist by the one and only Scratch Professer. Heavy bass, hip hop drums and manipulated samples are the main ingredients, of the highly recognizable Professer sound.
5. Pick Me up (Andreas Laustsen Remix)
Andreas Laustsen is one of the amazingly talented young producers, that Jonas have been collaborating with, in recent years. He offers a fresh direction and vibe, and an unmistakeable musicality, that is rare. The solo at the end of this, is Daniel Fridell on the Würlitzer.
6. Pick Me Up (Tony Ozier Remix)
Fully organic live played soul music. Tony Ozier from Texas, US and Jonas from Copenhagen, Denmark, were introduced in a video-chat with UK DJ Taxman. The 2 artists clicked, and are now planning to collab on various projects. First work together is this remix, where Tony plays most of the instruments himself, with a little help from his uncle on bass, and drummer extraordinaire Tyrone Henrix.
7. Let’s Fight (Soulrebel Remix)
Dirty, gritty soul-funk courtesy of the swedish doctor Soulrebel. Handplayed and uncontrolably organic. Check the crazy synth solo and the end.
released October 16, 2020
