Denmark: Catch RAKEL at SPOT festival this May!

Fred, Cameron, and I met in the @opiacommunity. The sweetest and most welcoming of online spaces. Fred scored ✍️ the piano part, and Cam somehow mustered up energy that day to interpret what was written so vividly on a felt piano A joy to be involved open.spotify.com/track/3xNOCBtc…

We're happy to bring to you today this stunning new version of "Tender" by @soundsofyana recorded and filmed in @OlafurArnalds studio in Iceland last November. Watch the video session here; youtube.com/watch?v=dKNj6C… Listen to the song here: opia.lnk.to/TenderLiveFrom… Enjoy!

Teaming up with Record in Iceland at last year's @icelandairwaves, Best Fit headed to the Reykjavík home of @opiacommunity-signed songwriter RAKEL for a sublime performance of "11:11" - watch the session in full now >> thelineofbestfit.com/news/watch-ice…

Collaboration means a lot to me. It's how I've made some of my favourite music. And how I've evolved as an artist (and human!) Like Gravity is our new short film about the collaboration that happens at the heart of @opiacommunity Watch now: youtu.be/pZCpwnk51Nw?si…
