With collaborations featuring Benny Sings, Brook Baili, Egyptian Lover, Rockie Fresh and many more; Onelight's music serves as a bridge, connecting listeners and artists from diverse backgrounds, sharing their stories and spanning genres like electro, hip-hop and R&B - all within their contemporary form. Onelight’s multilayered approach has led him to working on bespoke projects for French and German channel Arte, including a recent project about NFTs; showcasing his ability to marry multiple artforms while tackling complex and relevant topics through his art.Now the Parisian artist is ready to embark on his third studio LP Modern Temper, spanning 8 tracks and 8 diverse collaborations. The album focuses on the interconnectivity between artists, technology and ideas; having built a fierce team while remaining strongly independent, Onelight relies upon his imagination, day-to-day inspirations and the openness that working with others entails.
First single ‘I Wanna Be Dancin’ With You’ features Georgia Starnes, an artist who recently teamed up with Grammy award winning producer Shalom “J.Storm” Miller in her most recent single ‘Think With My Heart ( TWMH)’. The album's lead single perfectly encapsulates the feeling of spontaneity and increased heart-beat of initial connections. A secret language encoded amongst an irresistible bassline and wide-eyed synths.
‘Perfect Picture’ featuring Benny Sings touring band member June Fermi explores the elusive allure of money, love and eternal bliss that can never be truly actualised. The vocals are accompanied by dreamy, starry eyed sound-design and a visualiser that further explores the never-to-be-found aesthetic.
Elsewhere on the album Onelfight flexes his RnB muscle in ‘Magic’ with Jay Cue, who he cites as being one of the most talented artists he knows. These ideas lend themselves to other tracks in the album from his strong collaboration with Yunner Gainz to the liquidized sounds of ‘Energy’ with Tristan Price that represent the past, present and future sounds of RnB.
Girl Unit collaborator Brook Baili lends her voice to ‘Feel Like God’ in a blend of Electro, Hyperpop and R&B In between influences like Flume, Sophie, Mura Masa & Jimmy Edgar. The result is a futuristic and innovative love tune that explores the paradoxes associated with relationships, love and their boundaries. Memphis hip-hop artist Daz Rinko then channels his inner Van Gogh, while ‘Go’ featuring Son Person beautifully rounds the album off with flashes of bright arpeggios and vivid soundscapes that grasp at the passage of time.
Modern Temper fosters dialogue between its collaborators becoming an open, malleable piece of art not restricted by singular ideas - a shared creative voice that moves through visual concepts, musical boundaries and invisible borders.
