Hailing from New York, and regularly performing in Brooklyn’s Elsewhere, HAI-LIFE is a producer trying to inject something fresh into electronic dance music. Steadily releasing singles alongside a flourishing DJ career, HAI-LIFE singles have been featured across Spotify editorial playlists and subsequently seen impressive streaming success. Making her mark as a female voice in a male-dominated scene, her immersive visuals and world-building continue to stand out from the crowd.
HAI-LIFE’s latest single is the summer energiser ‘Baddie’. Centred around an infectious vocal hook that oozes 2000s nostalgia, the French House shimmer of the track soon comes into play, with choppy pianos swirling around the raw drums production and percussive melodic arrangements. Injecting just the right amount of modern glitz into the bouncy bass lines and glimmering synths, it’s a track that seems to bend all the right influences from all the right genres, even pulling some of its grooving licks and filtered build-ups from disco-house. In short, it’s a vivid summer banger.
HAI-LIFE explains, ”Baddie is a feel-good, French house record with cheeky vocals that will no doubt be the hot girl summer anthem of 2024. Perfect for every pool party, cookout, and hangout, this record is about having fun and being unapologetically bold. I wrote Baddie to capture that undeniable joy and energy we feel when we’re having the best time, being our most confident and bold selves.”
