Back in February Nasko covered Carbonara Collective's lush collaboration "Simon Says" featuring Dutch singer GINGE and today I'm carrying the torch with a brand-new offering from the collective started by Giorgio Carbonara alongside producer Pim van der Meulen who serve as connectors in order to create a space of fostered collaboration, inspired by artistsl like SAULT, Kaytranada, and Erykah Badu.

Bridging together elements from neo-soul, r&b, and hip hop, Carbonara Collective stands for inclusivity and creativity. Giorgio elaborates, "The love, passion, and culinary culture passed down by my grandmother deeply inspired me to pay tribute to everything that is truly important in life." I love the idea of creating a world where music and gastronomy come together!

The new single "Paralyzed in Paradise" features Dutch soul crooner and rising star Säm Wilder. The song is about feeling trapped in a place that once felt right but now holds you back. Lyrically, it captures the tension between comfort and change, following someone who's been grinding so hard they've lost touch. Until now.

I absolutely love the lush spaced-out instrumental and the taste the strings add in the background. Add Säm's timeless vocals and you have a recipe for a meal that feels warm, cozy, and vibrant.
