Joe Goddard of Hot Chip returns with brand new single “New World (Flow),” featuring a vocal performance by the Bronx-born, Milan-based singer/songwriter and visual artist Fiorious.

Talking about “New World (Flow),” Goddard says: “When I wrote the chords for this song, I was aiming for something with the power of a hymn. Without discussing this concept, Fiorious added words that have a kind of atheistic spiritual quality that I always love in house music.”

Fiorious adds: “I connected to the track instantly and loved how it moved from an interior moment in the verse to an explosive climax in the chorus. The lyrics took their cue from that feeling, the idea of getting out of your own way and surrendering, and so it became this meditation on fearlessness. From there, I started arranging my vocals as a huge choir of me, and it all came together very quickly.”

The video, directed by Tom Furse, captures the kaleidoscopic release and joyful vitality of the song.

In his solo records as well as his work in Hot Chip, The 2 Bears, and HARD FEELINGS, Goddard is driven by a hunger for experimentation, an innate understanding of dance, pop, and indie music’s inner workings, as well as a heartfelt love of collaboration.
