Ce Soir: From Whispers to Waves (Lorna James, Jan Johnston, JP Lantieri)

In 2024, Lorna James unveiled her original track 'Ce Soir,' which garnered early acclaim from DJ Mag France and EDM House Network. This captivating piece is a liquid drum & bass ballad, elegantly built around Lorna's primary instrument, the piano, and layered with ethereal background vocals and intriguing whispers.

Building on this foundation, Lorna James enlisted the exceptional talent of Jan Johnston to craft a melody, write lyrics, and perform vocals for 'Ce Soir.' Johnston boasts an illustrious career, lending her songwriting and vocal prowess to iconic collaborations with artists such as BT, Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, and Cosmic Gate. Her lyrical and vocal contribution to 'Ce Soir' is undeniably distinctive.

The collaborative journey continued when Lorna James and JP Lantieri connected during a Zoom listening session hosted by the California-based music portal, Electrofans. Their virtual encounter sparked a connection that led to an in-person meeting at the renowned Amsterdam Dance Event conference.

Subsequently, JP Lantieri masterfully reimagined the elements created by Lorna and Jan - the delicate piano melodies, the evocative vocal stems, the subtle whispers, and Jan's unforgettable voice - weaving them into his signature progressive house sound through a compelling remix.
