Real Pleasure is the artist project of Kevin Claxton, a writer, and producer based in Chicago. Claxton, formerly known as Vaya, has been making music for years, including his work with the Chicago Singles Club. Real Pleasure’s sound is heavily influenced by the sunny vibes of LA, blending the grooves of classic 80s and 90s pop and dance with Claxton’s indie art-pop roots. The result is a unique and catchy sound that’s perfect for getting people on the dance floor. Real Pleasure’s newest single, “New Direction” featuring Cyndy Fike, is a sugary sweet 2022 nostalgia pop anthem that’s sure to get stuck in your head. The remix by bay-area synth funk maestro E. Live (Star Creature Vibrations) takes the track in a new direction, adding a dead-on disco vibe with funky clavs, string hits, conga breakdowns, and an irresistible groove. The mix and master by Nick Garcia (Simma Black, Deep Root) ensures that the track delivers on the dance floor. Real Pleasure’s music is all about good vibes and fun times. The sunny melodies, infectious beats, and Claxton’s clever lyrics are all designed to get people moving and feeling good. There’s a sense of nostalgia to the music as well, harkening back to the heyday of pop and dance music in the 80s and 90s. But Real Pleasure isn’t content to just replicate the past. Claxton’s indie art-pop roots add a left-field twist to the music, creating something fresh and exciting. If you’re a fan of upbeat, catchy pop and dance music, then Real Pleasure is definitely an artist to check out. With a sound that’s both nostalgic and modern, Real Pleasure is sure to put a smile on your face and get you grooving. And with tracks like “New Direction” featuring Cyndy Fike (Remix by E. Live), you’ll be dancing all night long.
