Artist, producer, DJ and cultural icon Peggy Gou has returned with her first new music in nearly two years. Inspired by the eclectic house and pop classics that defined the Balearic sound, alongside 90s and 2000s dance anthems and Peggy’s own inimitable contemporary club production, “(It Goes Like) Nanana” makes an early claim to be the sound of the summer, set to soundtrack sunsets and sunrises the world over.
The track is an undeniable earworm — reminiscent of those late 90s crossover bangers — and you’ve no doubt been hearing it everywhere you go. It’s the perfect track for reveling in the sunshine, drinks in hand this summer.
“(It Goes Like) Nanana” is released via XL Recordings, Gou’s first release for the label. Following in the footsteps of previous Peggy Gou anthems, “(It Goes Like) Nanana” features Gou herself on vocals and is the first track to be released from her highly-anticipated debut album.
Speaking about the single, Gou says: “There’s a feeling we all know but is hard to describe, that feeling of love, warmth and excitement when you’re surrounded by friends and loved ones and the energy speaks for itself. It’s difficult to put into words but to me it goes ‘nanana!’”
The track was first premiered during Gou’s recent headline set at the closing of London’s iconic Printworks venue. “London and the UK have always been a special place for me.” she says. “It’s the city where I discovered my love of music and a place that has always shown me so much support. So it was an honour to close Printworks and the perfect place to debut the track”.
“(It Goes Like) Nanana” is now available on all good streaming services. Listen to the track here.
