4NC¥ (Foreign Currency) reveal the debut single from Starving Yet Full (Azari & III) & August Jakobsen as the duo drop ‘Purge’, the lead single from their forthcoming album ‘Cemetery Gospel’.

Ex-Toronto, now Moscow-based singer-songwriter Cedric Gasaïda, aka Starving Yet Full, was the lead vocalist of the Canadian quartet, Azari & III who achieved crossover success in 2011 with hits including ‘Hungry For The Power’ and ‘Reckless (With Your Love)’. Now pursuing a solo career, Gasaïda has fostered an admirable presence in the modern-day electronic music landscape with collaborations alongside artists such as Pete Tong, Rampa and Sinden to date. A new project for 2021, late-February sees Gasaïda team up with DJ, producer, multi-instrumentalist and one half of APP alongside Peter Pixzel, August Jakobsen, to offer up their infectious debut single ‘Purge’ – showcasing the opening track from their forthcoming eight-track album ‘Cemetery Gospel’, set for release later this year.

An emotive and striking debut, ‘Purge’ is something of a heartbreak song that came about following Gasaida parting ways with Azari & III and unveiling the Starving Yet Full alias from the emotional fallout that stemmed from the tumultuous relationship. The track is filled with enticing energy as pulsating melodies wrap gracefully around enchanting vocals and shimmering synth waves, showcasing the pure emotion behind Gasaïda’s lyrics balanced harmoniously with August’s deep yet euphonious production.
