An artist who exemplifies the beloved Glitterbox sound, The Shapeshifters AKA Simon Marlin returns to the label with ‘Beautiful Day’ featuring soulful vocals from West End star Liisi Lafontaine.
Since his acclaimed Glitterbox LP ‘Let Loose’ and subsequent Deluxe edition, which saw the UK household name work with luminaries Billy Porter, Joss Stone, Teni Tinks and CHIC’s Kimberly Davis, Simon has remained one of the world’s most in-demand disco authorities.
Now back in the studio after a relentless touring schedule, which saw him ring in the new year at Glitterbox’s Wembley takeover in 2024, Simon foregoes the signature disco strings of recent hits to make way for a more modern club sound – rooted in memories formed at Glitterbox at Hï Ibiza party and Defected Croatia.
This comeback release, ‘Beautiful Day’ features Liisi Lafontaine, an established vocalist with previous credits in Moulin Rouge and Dreamgirls on the West End, now recording dance music with the genre’s best; Liisi’s buttery smooth vocals add a cool, downtown vibe to the understated yet powerful production of ‘Beautiful Day’, signalling good club vibes only for summer 2024.
