Elderbrook has shared his latest single Never Get Enough, and this is one of those tracks that just gets bigger and better the longer you listen.
Written, produced and sung by Elderbrook, with additional production from Paul Harris and Stuart Crichton, Never Get Enough starts relatively stripped back before steadily building into the euphoric electronic sound that he does so brilliantly.
The song centres around wanting to recapture something you’ve felt before. That moment where a memory suddenly comes flooding back and reminds you just how exciting life once felt – and leaves you wanting to find that spark all over again.
“Once you’ve heard that voice, memory starts creeping back in. You remember what it felt like when life had more electricity. More wonder. More spark,” Elderbrook explained. “It’s nostalgic, but not in a sentimental way. It’s about recognizing you’ve tasted something bigger before and realizing you want to find it again.”
And the production really helps tell that story.
There’s a restraint to the beginning of Never Get Enough that makes its eventual release feel even better. It pulls back, builds again and finally erupts into a brilliant final crescendo as “I can never get enough” repeats over the production.
It’s the sort of track you can imagine taking on an entirely different life during his live shows.
The accompanying music video, directed by Wyatt Stromer, follows two people being pulled back towards one another through expressive choreography and sun-soaked visuals, adding another layer to the song’s focus on connection.
Never Get Enough follows recent singles Staring at the Sun and Is It Over Now?, with the three tracks showing a slightly more vulnerable side to Elderbrook’s songwriting without losing the electronic sound that has made his music so instantly recognisable.
It’s already been a pretty huge year elsewhere too.
His 2021 collaboration with Bob Moses, Inner Light, recently appeared at the end of the extended trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI and subsequently shot to number one on Shazam’s Global Viral Chart. Not bad for a song getting another moment in the spotlight five years after its original release.
Of course, Elderbrook is hardly a newcomer to having songs connect on a massive scale.
Since breaking through internationally with the GRAMMY-nominated Cola in 2017, he has amassed more than two billion streams, released albums including Why Do We Shake in the Cold? and Little Love, and performed everywhere from Coachella and Bonnaroo to Red Rocks Amphitheatre and The Greek Theatre.
And that live schedule isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Upcoming dates will take him to South Korea, Canada and Brazil before he heads to BOO Seattle for Halloween weekend, with Snow Machine Japan following in March 2027.
But Never Get Enough is definitely one we’d be adding to the playlist now.
It has emotion without becoming heavy, a chorus that gets firmly stuck in your head and that glorious electronic payoff that makes you want to immediately turn the volume up.
