Inspired by neo-soul records and beats, the first ideas of Cream came to life in Lokke's living room. Lokke flipped the classic jazz approach, chords in the left hand plus a melody on top with the right, played the chords with the right hand, and added a bass melody in the left.
'Cream' features Pilar Vega, a Swiss neo-soul singer with Caribbean roots.
Although Pilar is known most as a soul music singer and lyricist, she likes to stretch her boundaries, loves experimenting and working with producers from all over the musical spectrum.
With her recognizable dreamy voice, Pilar Vega paints a picture of growing up, having to live up to expectations and staying true to who you are.
