borne – Ignite ft. Tasha Baxter (Original Mix)
Montreal native borne has teamed up with South African vocalist Tasha Baxter on a bone rattling bass tune in “Ignite”. Cinematic melodies and pummeling basslines from Shane Osborne are woven together with the ethereal and entrancing vocals of the Johannesburg based singer and songwriter. The single was released through Tucker (Jericho) Boner and Daniel Goudie’s NIGHTMODE, which they started in Los Angeles in 2019 under Insomniac Music Group.
“‘Ignite’ came to be after a long sound design session”, says borne. “After that session, I immediately got to work on an idea which later became this track. Then, when finalizing the production, I was looking for a vocalist, which is where Tasha came in.”
Tasha Baxter shares “There’s something really special about finding collaborators who speak the same emotional language and resonate on the same frequency. borne has this incredible ability to create tension and space in his production, which gave me room to tell the story I heard inside the music—AND he has the most incredible voice, which I discovered when sending voice notes back and forth. ‘Ignite’ is about trusting the fire instead of fearing it, because sometimes the things that transform us are the very things we try to avoid. I became an instant fan once I dove knee-deep into borne’s world, and I’m super grateful that Vishal (To Be Fair + NIGHTMODE) connected us. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created for our first collab. I couldn’t be more stoked to make my NIGHTMODE debut on a label that constantly flips the script, with the most glorious aesthetic, incredible creative direction and top-notch releases. This tune is 🔥😏 and has finally found its worthy home.”
