Desire return with Games People Play on Italians Do It Better, an album that builds on their reputation as one of the label’s most iconic acts. Led by vocalist Megan Louise and produced by Johnny Jewel, the group first came to wider attention with the track ‘Under Your Spell’ on the Drive soundtrack. Since then, they have become central to the label’s aesthetic, pairing sleek electronic production with a sense of emotional intensity.
Games People Play heightens these contrasts, delivering glossy synth-pop anthems alongside darker, slow-burning ballads. Jewel’s signature production surrounds Louise’s breathy vocals with neon melodies, throbbing basslines and cinematic textures, offering a record that feels at once glamorous, nocturnal and deeply human. It’s a statement release from a group whose sound helped define Italians Do It Better’s world of shimmering electronics and nocturnal romance.
