Jayda G has dropped new single, “Feeling Alive”. On “Feeling Alive”, the producer, DJ and yes, Environmental Toxicologist, draws on the more upbeat elements of her latest LP Guy with heavy and personal themes at times, is ultimately filled with hope and joy. The single also follows the recent UK and US launch of her feature length film “Blue Carbon”, which Jayda presents, and which also features additional music from RZA (Wu-Tang Clan) and Brazilian icon Seu Jorge.

“Guy was really me exploring and, you know, pushing my sound to the next level,” she explains. “‘Feeling Alive’ is me kind of taking that into a real pure dance music form. Knowing that my album was largely about loss and grief and death, this is me focussing on the joyful celebratory part of my life, because I know I have a lot of things to be happy for!”

“Feeling Alive” came to life during a recording session with Sam Knowles AKA Karma Kid and Baz Kaye — who co-produced the track — as Jayda recalls: “We were just sitting in the studio working together, and I was very conscious of just wanting to focus on how good life can be, and how I really want my music to emulate that this time around. We talked a lot about different times in our lives when we were feeling really good and positive about life, and I started telling them this story from when I was living in LA, and I was driving down Sunset Boulevard late at night, seeing all the lights and everything going on, and how I just felt just really alive at that time. That’s how we hit on that tagline of “feeling alive” which helped form the sentiment of the whole track.”

Directed by Emmy/BAFTA-winning filmmaker Nicolas Brown (The Serengeti Rules) and produced by multi award-winning studios MAKE Waves and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, the feature-length “Blue Carbon” documentary is an environmentally-focused musical journey. One that follows Jayda on a quest to understand how Blue Carbon — the term given to three key coastal ecosystems that fringe every continent: seagrass meadows, mangroves and tidal marshes — can help to mitigate the effects of climate change, and how we can protect these fragile ecosystems from further destruction.
