After a successful 2022 full of great music and sold-out shows, Martin Jensen began the new year with a surreal-feeling track called ‘Day Like This,’ featuring the Billboard chart-topping R&B artist Jay Sean.

Channeling his love for lanky tropical strides in his tunes, Jensen has collaborated with VAMERO and Gibbs for this floor-filling house goodness.

The three artists have now combined for maximum effect, sending you into a house euphoria as the synths build and layer around pitch-perfect vocals, adding a lighthearted and catchy element to the tune.
