Charlotte Dos Santos, Joyce Wrice and Varnish La Piscine join forces and deliver magic with Love Boat, this is the first time they work together and we're hoping it won't be the last. The entire process of this song was done remotely and took place across Switzerland, Norway, and the United States. RedBull Music released an episode of their series 'Check your DMs' that highlights how this song came into fruition. Check it out!
Varnish La Piscine is a Producer/Composer/Film Director that currently resides in Geneva. His music is predominantly in French, but his unique style without a doubt breaks language barriers. He produced this track and provided an immaculate canvas for Charlotte and Joyce to lay the vocals.
Charlotte Dos Santos and Joyce Wrice are both part of the R&B world and have known each other for a few years, but had never collaborated until now. Charlotte is a Brazilian-Norwegian Producer/Composer/Singer, she currently resides in Oslo. She took the first stab at this track and set the tone painting a great picture of summertime, drinks on a boat, and palm trees.
Joyce recorded her vocals on a sunny day in South Central, LA, incorporating her style and also her culture. Her mother is from Japan and Joyce herself speaks the language, you can catch her saying a few lines in Japanese and the end of the song.

About the Curator: Alejandro Laverde
I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia and now live in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Growing up in Colombia I had a lot of musical influence from my family with the great Hispanic/Latin artists that transcend generations and carry the essence of the culture to this day. My curiosity for music started then and was further developed when one of my uncles took me under his wing and opened the world of music in English to me, starting with classic Rock and Metal and going all the way to Rap, R&B, Jazz, and Electronic, from there I took it upon myself to keep being curious and explore music without limiting myself to certain languages and styles I understood but rather let the music do its thing and connect with the rhythm and the artist’s body of work.
Since then I have expanded my music library and collection, for every moment in life, there is a song that can help you celebrate, recover, laugh, cry. There is no limit as a listener to explore and enjoy the beautiful gift of music, which has no barriers and welcomes everyone.
Hope you enjoy this playlist and always remember to stay curious and open-minded, you never know when you’ll find that next hidden gem to jam out to.
