Setting the tone with an enigmatic and textured synthscape, Eric Matthys, DILAN and Elion Melody open their collaborative single with a whistle tone and the lyrics, “I make it whistle like…” as the opus expands with trap high hats and a dimensional bassline.
Make It Whistle evolves into a vibrant and charming alternative R&B energy with an infection hook and dynamic production. We learn that the three collaborators are based in different cities, Eric Matthys in Los Angeles, DILAN in London and Elion Melody in New York City, and worked on the track remotely!
We appreciate the uniqueness of the composition and the luscious vocal design, with a narrative full of charm and romanticism. We particularly love the lyric, “I might bow down when I’m in your temple…”, which summarises the intimate energy of the song.
We learn that in just a two-year timespan, Elion Melody, who performs the majority of the vocals on Make It Whistle has accumulated 1.25M+ plays with two Spotify editorial playlist placements. In addition to this collaboration with Eric Matthys and DILAN, he has worked with Padre Tóxico, Smoothsaylin, Motion Sickness and Two Eyes Open!
Elion released his debut EP Dose of Oxytocin on September 9 including a fans favourite track, Red Mercedes II, which we have also been streaming! He cites Drake, Young Thug, Eric Bellinger, and Ty Dolla $ign as some of his inspirations, although there is no doubt that he is creating a universe of his own.
The artist creates with the intention to heal the mind and soul with music, but also treats the body as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Personal Trainer!
We have added the super catchy Make It Whistle to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the discographies of all three artists!
