A new version of "When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die" featuring Gabriels' Jacob Lusk has been shared by Moby. This version of the Stranger Things Hit is a part of Moby’s 23rd album Future Quiet, which is coming out on February 20th. The album will open with a new orchestral reworking of the song, featuring the enchanting vocals of Jacob Lusk.
Moby is a singer, songwriter, producer, author, filmmaker and animal rights activist. His first single,”Go” came out in 1991 and is listed as one of Rolling Stone magazine's best records of all time. He has produced and remixed artists as varied and disparate as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys, and Daft Punk.
“I first heard Jacob’s voice on KCRW when they started playing ‘Love and Hate in A Different Time’,” Moby said. “And, like anyone who’s heard Jacob sing, I immediately fell in love with his voice. After hearing him sing on the radio, I spent weeks tracking him down and begging him to work with me. And, lucky me, he agreed. The results speak for themselves, as his vocals on ‘When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die’ are, I say with something approaching objectivity, transcendent.”
The original song from Moby’s 1995 album Everything Is Wrong featured vocalist Mimi Goese. "When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die" received recognition from the new generation of listeners thanks to the use of the song in seasons one and four of the beloved Netflix show Stranger Things. Track became one of Moby’s streamed songs and went viral on TikTok.
Moby says: “It’s reaching hundreds of millions of people annually, which is both wonderful and surprising, especially as it was an obscure song with no drums or bass and was never released as a single.”
Future Quiet is an album meant to help ease anxiety, and created by Moby as a personal response to his own anxiety and insomnia.
