CHET PORTER featuring CHELSEA CUTLER, “Stay”
Many lower key electronic songs neither make a huge impression nor have an impact on the dance floor at a club. “Stay” by Toronto’s Chet Porter featuring new American vocalist Chelsea Cutler might change that. Released by the Foreign Family Collective (curated by Odesza, which includes Jai Wolf), it’s a lush, melodic song with an ear-ringing vocal that is in fact the perfect companion to this year’s end-of-summer song, “Closer” by The Chainsmokers and Halsey. There are so many songs called “Stay” that have similar themes, but this one is really beautiful and romantic. After listening to a couple of his wilder remixes, I was fortunate enough to see another side of Chet at a recent ‘secret’ DJ set in Toronto which drew to my attention his keen ear for melody. Dance clubs should be all over “Stay” instantly and don’t be surprised if radio follows soon after. “Stay” is a diverse head-turner that requires your attention. Billboard has already sang the song’s praises – read it here.
Chet Porter’s upcoming North American tour will include a Toronto date at The Velvet Underground on November 8 which includes Lemaitre.
