Jerry Folk’s latest single, “Intertwined,” featuring Bearson and FENGSEL, is a vibrant dive into 80s-inspired electronic music that feels both epic and deeply personal. Released via Folkestad Records, the track marks the first taste of his upcoming album and reveals a new layer to the Norwegian producer's expansive style. Known for bending genres and creating vivid soundscapes, Folk brings his unique vision to life with “Intertwined,” delivering a sound that’s lush, grand, and undeniably cinematic.
“Intertwined” kicks off with powerful synths and shimmering textures that evoke a sense of nostalgia, yet there’s a modern, stadium-sized intensity in its production. Drawing on the larger-than-life drum reverbs of Phil Collins and the sprawling atmospheres of electronic luminaries like James Blake and Kaytranada, Folk creates a sonic world that’s immersive from the first note. The addition of Bearson’s influence adds a smooth, melodic depth, while FENGSEL’s contribution brings a dark, pulsating edge to the mix, resulting in a track that’s as complex as it is catchy.
The track’s most captivating quality lies in its unpredictability. Folk masterfully balances atmospheric, introspective moments with energetic bursts of rhythm, creating a journey that feels constantly evolving. The layered reverb, tough drum beats, and carefully crafted synths make “Intertwined” feel almost cinematic, pulling listeners into its vibrant world with each twist and turn. As the track builds, the effect is truly encompassing—a full-body experience that lingers long after it ends.
“This is the first song of an upcoming album of mine. I've been interested in trying to make stadium 80's type music with big reverbs, drum hits and Phil Collins type reverbs. Bearson and I made this track in LA earlier this year and it sparked a lot of creativity for the rest of the release.”
With over 400 million streams to his name and a Norwegian Grammy nomination for his album Dotted Red, Folk shows once again why he remains at the forefront of electronic music, seamlessly blending influence from the past with his forward-thinking vision.
If “Intertwined” is any indication, Jerry Folk’s forthcoming album is set to be an electrifying new chapter, filled with the kind of daring innovation and infectious energy that defines his music. This release isn’t just a song; it’s a statement of evolution and intent, making “Intertwined” a must-hear track for fans and newcomers alike.
