Australian producer ZUSO has released his latest single, ‘U R LUVD’, a reflective lo-fi track centred around uncertainty, intimacy and the reminder that you are still loved.
Written towards the end of last year, ‘U R LUVD’ explores a quieter and more introspective side of ZUSO’s production. The track was inspired by EMBRZ’s ‘Left Ya a Voicenote’, particularly the use of a voicemail sample to create an intimate and personal feeling.
ZUSO wanted to explore a similar idea in his own way, eventually finding a voicemail that matched the mood of the track while reinforcing its central message.
“U R LUVD was written towards the end of last year and is a deep, reflective lo-fi song that tries to capture feelings of uncertainty, while also serving as a reminder that no matter what’s going on in life, you are still loved.”
He explains that EMBRZ’s ‘Left Ya a Voicenote’ was where the original idea came from, with the voicemail element becoming an important part of how he approached the track.
“I loved the way he used a voicemail sample to create such an intimate and personal feeling, and I wanted to explore something similar in my own way. I ended up finding a voicemail that matched the mood of the song perfectly, while also conveying the positive message I wanted the track to leave with people.”
At its core, ‘U R LUVD’ carries a simple message: “whatever you might be going through, U R LUVD.”
The track features lo-fi textures, understated production and a personal vocal sample, creating a restrained and intimate atmosphere around its central message of reassurance.
‘U R LUVD’ was written and produced by Gabriel Cuenca, aka ZUSO. Nicholas Di Lorenzo handled the mixing and mastering, while Eclipse Visuals created the artwork and visuals. Photography is credited to Karlo Apostol.
