lovetempo moves into a more intimate space with “Thinking About You,” a late-night disco reflection that balances rhythm with emotional restraint. The project, led by Mattie Safer of The Rapture and Poolside, continues building momentum as anticipation grows around the debut lovetempo album. This second single positions the project clearly: dancefloor-aware but emotionally grounded.
“Thinking About You” exists in that transitional hour between movement and reflection. The bassline carries a steady pulse, confident without overpowering the atmosphere, while layered harmonies create a sense of emotional depth. There is a softness within the groove, a feeling of someone dancing through memory rather than distraction. The result feels polished yet personal.
The production holds a refined disco sensibility, but it avoids excess. Instead of overwhelming the arrangement, each element earns its space. Smooth vocals glide across cascading harmonies, and subtle noir-soul textures give the track a late-night glow. It feels cinematic without becoming theatrical. That restraint is part of its strength.
Support from tastemakers like Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music and Colleen Murphy’s Balearic Breakfast signals that the song resonates beyond genre circles. It bridges sophisticated club culture with introspective songwriting, creating a mood that works both on a curated playlist and in solitary listening.
As the second single from the forthcoming album, “Thinking About You” confirms lovetempo as a project rooted in emotional intelligence as much as rhythm. It captures longing without melodrama and danceability without detachment. The balance feels deliberate, contemporary, and quietly compelling.
