Sharing another fresh take on tracks from her critically acclaimed album Ambiguous Desire, twice Grammy-nominated, Mercury Prize and BRIT Award-winning Arlo Parks today unveils an official remix of her single ‘Heaven’ by longtime friend and Canadian electronic pioneer Jacques Greene.

Montreal-born and raised, the DJ and producer has spent the past decade pushing the boundaries of house music, establishing himself as one of dance music’s most captivating and enigmatic talents. His remix of ‘Heaven’ is a shimmering, atmospheric club cut, built around warm house grooves and a touch of minimal nostalgia, offering a fresh and emotionally resonant interpretation of one of the standout tracks from Parks’ latest body of work.

On working together, Jacques Greene shares, “After talking to Arlo at length about her headspace while making her album and poking my head in during some of the sessions – I knew we were on the same wavelength. I didn’t want to reinvent this song, but rather awaken and unleash an energy that already existed within it. A lil flash and pomp but honestly, it’s all her radiance.”

Arlo Parks recently shared a striking rework of ‘Floette’ featuring London-based rapper, poet and producer John Glacier, offering a reimagined perspective on the track through the power of collaboration and creative evolution – a reflection of the spirit underpinning this era of her work.

Released in April via Transgressive, Ambiguous Desire was created alongside producer Baird (Brockhampton, Kevin Abstract), with additional production from longtime collaborator Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence + The Machine, Rihanna), Buddy Ross (Frank Ocean, Vampire Weekend) and Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Dijon). The album has since been named one of Billboard and Rough Trade’s Albums of the Year So Far, following a wave of critical acclaim that saw Classic Pop dub it “her ultimate statement”, Rolling Stone UK praise it as her “most versatile work yet”, and Pitchfork describe it as Parks at her best. Uncut called the record “frequently wonderful”, while DIY hailed it as “her most vividly realised and affecting body of work to date.”

Sweating under the strobes at Midnight Lovers in LA, dancing to the bass beneath the K Bridge in Greenpoint, finding new faces at Venue MOT in London – these are the dark, enveloping spaces giving life to Ambiguous Desire.

Over the past two years, Arlo dove headfirst into nocturnal spaces where she could be whoever she wanted. She drew inspiration from the queer hedonism of NYC’s Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial, the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish, losing herself on the dancefloor. The record is Parks at her most confident and experimental, supplanting live band sessions for modular synths, Ableton plugins and samplers that channel the frenetic, vibrant spaces she was immersed in, all while spotlighting the acclaimed poetry and lyricism she’s beloved for.

Reflecting on the making of the record, Parks shares, “I danced more than ever as I made this record, I made more friends than ever too, found myself in the weird underbelly of New York juke nights, unleashed, laughed and laughed and laughed. This record has desire at its center. Desire is a life force, it’s a wanting, a yearning, a momentum – we are all alive because there is something or someone we want – desire is an engine. But it is also mysterious, tangled, random, enlightening and HUMAN.”

Featuring on the record are the singles ‘Get Go’, ‘Heaven’, and ‘2SIDED’, as well as the album’s focus song ‘Beams’. With these releases, Parks has received overwhelming support, including a performance and interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland and playlist additions across BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 1. She has also taken over studios at NTS Radio in London and KCRW in Los Angeles for her own shows, sharing a mix of club music and current favourites – offering a glimpse into the sounds shaping this era. 

Bursting onto the scene with her distinct blend of raw lyrical self-expression and vivid vocal melody, Parks has since been nominated for two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album, won the Mercury Music Prize for her 2021 Gold-certified debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams, been named a Breakthrough Artist at the Brit Awards, and been nominated at the Ivor Novello Awards. A poet as much as a performer, Parks followed up her previous critically acclaimed album My Soft Machine with the debut of her first published book, The Magic Border, a collection of 20 new poems and exclusive images by Daniyel Lowden alongside lyrics from My Soft Machine.

Arlo is also a featured writer on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter. Arlo has performed at Glastonbury and Coachella, opened for Billie Eilish and Harry Styles and captivated audiences across the world with her headline tour. Upon the release of previous album My Soft Machine Arlo performed on NPR Tiny Desk and appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
