Our Morning by Rebecca Goldberg feat. Jon Dixon

Rebecca Goldberg is a multidisciplinary artist from Detroit who combines her skills in the musical and visual arts to craft a lane entirely of her own. For this release, she invites her friend Jon Dixon to join her and the results capture each of their signature sounds, weaving them together into something new.

Rebecca met Jon in 2017, and was responsible for designing the artwork on Jon’s 4evr 4wrd label releases. This led to Jon showing Rebecca around the keyboard so she could learn how to play the theme from Westworld. Eventually, after a few years, she decided it was time to suggest they collaborate on some music. The result of that collaboration is the track “Our Morning”, which is now being introduced into the world on this very special release.

Kicking off with hazy strings and a broken 909 beat, “Our Morning” creates an atmosphere of anticipation. As elements are added the tension builds, with melodic snippets slipping over and under one another. Acid tweaks slowly start to intensify, ushering in an explosion of pure hi-tech soul at the track’s peak. If sunlight breaking through clouds had a musical accompaniment, this would be it. Jon’s melodic and harmonic sensibilities mesh wonderfully with Rebecca’s machine groove, splashing the dancefloor with optimism in these trying times. After that release, the come down is handled elegantly, bringing reality slowly but surely back, while we bask in the warm glow of the journey just completed.

Music this special deserves a special presentation, and Rebecca’s devotion to creativity in all aspects of her work shines through here. An excerpt of “Our Morning” is etched into a 5”x7” flexidisc postcard that you can play on a turntable, which features the work of local photographer Ryan Southen. The Ambassador Bridge stands in the foreground, connecting Detroit and Windsor, with the cities lurking in the back. The postcard is limited to 250 numbered copies, and purchase includes a high-quality digital file download of the full track.
