Steve Petrinko and Dolapo Oladejo, who are from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Ibadan, Nigeria, met in 2021 via an online music review forum. Their relationship immediately developed into a close friendship and a successful songwriting partnership. Their initial album, out in May 2024, laid the groundwork for "Give Me The Music," which captures the joy and creative synergy that define their relationship.
"Give Me The Music" is an upbeat groove that highlights Steve's multi-instrumental abilities and Dolapo's soulful singing capabilities. Steve originated the track, recording the acoustic drum, bass, and guitar sections in his home studio. Inspired by these instrumental layers, Dolapo wrote lyrics that capture the exhilaration of their collaboration, returning the tune and words almost immediately. Steve then added saxophone arrangements and harmonized vocals, improving the mix and mastering to bring out the track's contagious energy.
