lovetempo - By Your Side

Latin-tinged soul/jazz gem “By Your Side” is the final single before the release of lovetempo's forthcoming debut album 'There Is A Light', out April 17th 2026.

Driven by harmonically dissonant bass and keys, a yearning vocal doubled by the synth lead, and a propulsive yet tender rhythm section, “By Your Side” evokes a modern electronic take on Roy Ayers’ soulful romanticism. Melodic tension and Brazilian-inspired rhythmic undercurrents evoke the ache of longing for a lover who is no longer yours.

lovetempo is the project of Brooklyn-based musician Mattie Safer (Poolside, The Rapture). His debut full-length album, 'There Is A Light', is a deeply personal journey through heartbreak, self-doubt, and hard-won optimism. Introduced by the singles “The Right Way” and “Wanna Be With You,” the album continues to unfold with forthcoming tracks “Never The Same,” “Thinking About You,” and “By Your Side”. Blending soul, disco, house, and jazz-funk, lovetempo makes emotionally resonant dance music rooted in vulnerability, groove, and hope.

Hi, I'm Will Sumsuch, former head of press and radio for BBE Music, now working solo on projects for labels like Compost, Mr Bongo, Atjazz Record Company, Jazzanova's Sonar Kollektiv, Bastard Jazz and Lovemonk, plus many independent artists, centered around jazz, soul, disco and the more melodic side of electronic music. I'll be sending a few high quality releases your way if that's OK, hopefully well-tailored to your musical tastes. Hope you'll join my little promo pool- I promise it's Only Good Stuff.
