JASON WALKER AND TONY MORAN
Together Again in ‘I’m in Love With You’
“There’s so much turmoil in the world right
now, the dance floor needs a song like ‘I’m
in Love With You,’” says Jason Walker of his
latest single with Tony Moran. It is Walker’s
third song with the two-time Grammy
nominated producer. The power house
duo’s previous tracks, “So Happy” and
“Say Yes,” both reached the #1 spot on the
Billboard club charts. “It’s a positive number
with a great beat to lift spirits up.”
“‘I’m in Love With You’ is meant to be a
bold declaration of the love we hold in our
hearts for those who matter most to us,”
says Moran. “It’s also a reminder that—yes,
people!—message counts. It’s important
to tell those closest to us how much they
mean.”
Moran wrote the song with Ryan Shaw and
Mike Greenly and is releasing it through his
label, Mr. Tanman Music. To support the
release, he has commissioned remixes from
some of the top names in dance music,
including Rosabel, Moto Blanco, Sted E
and Hybrid Heights, Mike Cruz, Tony Smith
(“Tony’s Soulbeats”), Tommer Mizrahi,
Strobe, Dinaire and Bissen, and Boris.
Moran and Walker also re-enlisted
videographer Karl Giant, the director of the
“So Happy” and “Say Yes” music videos.
Giant, in turn, brought in artist Randy
Polumbo, whose work has been exhibited
at Art Basel Miami Beach, Burning Man and
Coachella.
The video was shot in Polumbo’s
4,000-square-foot warehouse studio and at
an ice skating rink with figure skater Jeremy
Abbott, a four-time U.S. national champion
and Olympic bronze medalist.
“The set was like a playground with art
everywhere, an elevated RV, blow torches,
an ice rink… It was simply magical,” recalls
Walker. He says he is thrilled with the end
result, calling it a masterpiece of motion and
color.
Moran says the true masterpiece is Jason’s
voice. “The song starts with a steady
continuum that reflects a steadfast love. It
then breaks out into a joyous enthusiasm
that embraces today’s electronic music and
provides a platform for Jason to really let
loose.”
Walker grew up in Pittsburgh, singing in
church choirs. He first shined on the national
spotlight with a winning performance on
TV’s “It’s Showtime at the Apollo.”
He has had four Billboard #1s: “Foolish
Mind Games,” “Set It Free” and the Moranproduced
singles “So Happy” and “Say
Yes.”
Walker and Moran first met through DJ
Junior Vasquez when Vasquez commissioned
Moran to remix “Set It Free.”
