While its predecessor Sunrise sat at a cool 120 bpm (the ideal speed for House and Electro), Fortune finds its roots in slower, contemplative electronic genres. It embodies the grit of Trip-Hop,
the delays of Ambient Dub and vocal stylings of late 00's Witch House.
Reflecting on how the song came to be Jess says "Fortune was the most improvised song on the album. I came up with the vocals on the spot during recording, led by the melody which is sort of dark and melancholic paired with a heavy downtempo beat."
Morgan has created a somber visualiser to accompany Fortune. She explains "I wanted the video for Fortune to reflect the songs vibe which was very much inspired by the moodiness of 1990's trip hop and downtempo genres, utilising foggy urban scenes juxtaposed with more delicate slow-moving imagery."
