Curve +1 is a four-track EP dropped in October 2025 by Murda Masa, the genius producer from Guernsey, via the independent label Pond Recordings.

Closing out the record, this track is a floor-focused banger that distills the raw energy of rave and electroclash into a minimal framework.

Directed by The Reids, the music video leaves a strong impression with close-ups of interlacing hands on the dancefloor, emphasizing the intimacy of dance and its tactile quality.

Situated as a direct extension of the previous album Curve 1, which made a bold return to rave aesthetics, this song showcases a new frontier for Murda Masa that prioritizes the body’s immediate reaction on the floor.

Set to a four-on-the-floor beat, it conveys an intimate promise—“I have words I speak only for you”—with sleek house textures intertwining exquisitely with a luscious melody.

The music video, featuring Lucas Bravo from the film Emily in Paris, has also generated buzz; its cinematic depiction of nighttime Paris richly expands the world of the song.

Balancing instant dancefloor appeal with a sense of luxury, it stands as a definitive statement of late-2020s world pop.
