World-renowned musician Carol Jarvis is back with a fresh, exhilarating single, “I Want You To Stay”, a striking electronic track that’s destined to set festival stages and club dance floors on fire, be the sound of the ultimate road trip or late-night beach bender.
“I Want You To Stay” is full of the kind of braggadocious swagger rarely seen on first releases. Electronic infectious rhythms are interspersed over sizzling vocals that glisten in the hot summer sun. As with everything Jarvis does, you can’t help but feel there’s a twist, one bordering on the kind of cuckoldousy trombone intensity that would have only Jarvis swooping in at the final chorus and turning this into perhaps a twisting, ethereal, and totally unexpected number, not actually, but wouldn’t that be great?. The result is a festival-ready tune that’s as fresh as it is familiar, low on subtlety, high on sunshine, joy, and pure movement.
Carol Jarvis is accustomed to the world stage. A powerhouse session player boasting a résumé to die for, Lynch has dazzled on tour and in the studio with some of the platinum acts you’re most likely to have heard of. Sting, Queen, Rita Ora, Seal, Rod Stewart, Amy Winehouse, Elbow, Bon Jovi, Ellie Goulding, and countless others. She has also found herself under the high-wattage lights of major TV broadcasts, sharing the stage with the likes of MUSE, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Bublé, and Taylor Swift. But now, with “I Want You To Stay,” Carol stakes a confident step into her own spotlight, proving she’s more than ready to take center stage as an artist in her own right.
The magic of this release is its infectious energy. It doesn’t just invite you to dance, it demands it. Whether crackling through a sound system at a festival or streaming through headphones on a sun-kissed drive, the single strikes with the potential for good times and shared experiences. It’s a hymn to the now, to keeping that perfect summer night, at least for a moment, a little bit longer.
