Carla Frayman, better known as Carlita, is a fast-rising DJ and producer who stands out for refusing to stick to just one electronic genre, instead crafting unique fusions of different styles. Her new single “WYWD” is straight-up good House music and features a collaboration with Justine Skye.
This gem is part of her latest album, ‘Telepathy,’ released via Ninja Tune, which packs a total of 13 tracks full of original, colorful grooves. Other standout collaborations on the record include team-ups with SOFI TUKKER, Cleo Simone, Paige Cavell, Kosmo Kint, and more.
From Classical Roots to Club Masterpieces
Born in Istanbul, Turkey, with Italian roots, Carlita is not only skilled behind the DJ decks, but also proficient with a ton of musical instruments. In fact, I have always had this theory that musicians with a classical music background are the ones who ultimately end up making masterpieces for club dancefloors.
Naturally, there has to be a reason for that. For instance, Carlita started playing the piano at just 3 years old and the cello at 8, graduating with honors from the prestigious Royal Academy of Music by 16. On top of that, she also played bass, guitar, and drums in Rock bands before making the jump to electronic dance music.
As a result, all that discipline and trained ear for harmony and organic textures shine right through in her productions, giving her jams an emotional depth that goes way beyond your typical repetitive club beat.
Fresh Grooves and NYC Vibes on “WYWD”
“WYWD,” which stands for “What You Want to Do,” is a vocal House song where Justine Skye’s smooth RnB vocals glide effortlessly over Carlita’s infectious groove.
On the other hand, the music video directed by Hidji World features an urban aesthetic in true New York City style, making it feel like you are hanging out and spending a chill day off right alongside them!
Overall, the rhythm feels contemporary, fresh, and modern, and with those three words, you pretty much have the best description for this tune that instantly puts you in a good mood while you listen.
