New York City's Jennifer Vanilla, aka Jennifer Vanilla and Brian Abelson, offered a portal into a colorful world of innovative electronic sound with their 2022 debut album Castle In The Sky, traversing new wave, postpunk, art pop, and experimental R&B. Now Love Injection, the multi-faceted brainchild of Barbie Bertisch and Paul Raffaele comprising a print magazine, radio show, record label, and production duo breathe new life into one of the album's standout tracks Jennifer Pastoral on home turf, in the form of a 12" single alongside two ethereal mixes featuring maestros Dave Darlington on mixing duties and Francois Kevorkian as mastering engineer. Love Injection's earthly mix of "Jennifer Pastoral" is a sublime seven-minute deep house odyssey with neon keys from "Conclave" frontman and close friend Toribio and a sprinkling of organic percussion that harks back to the likes of François K and Pal Joey but with Vanilla's sensuous vocals soaring up top. The duo's celestial mix of "Jennifer Pastoral" is more of a late-night lullaby -- a soothing comedown with widescreen pads and layers of percussion that bubble along on expansive synths. The original version of "Jennifer Pastoral" is a freewheeling electronic rhythm reminiscent of Will Powers with robust drums but funky riffs, lavish pop vocals and cosmic warmth.
