Jax Jones & Calum Scott Team Up for New Song “Whistle”
London-based DJ Jax Jones has joined forces with British singer-songwriter Calum Scott for his new song “Whistle”.
This marks the first time Jax Jones and Calum Scott have worked together.
The track was written by Timucin Lam, Jon Maguire, Josh Wilkinson, Neave Applebaum, and Roy Stride.
Produced by Jax Jones, Jon “MAGS” Maguire, Neave Applebaum, and Josh Wilkinson.
The accompanying music video was co-directed by Jax along and Charlie Sarsfield, who filmed on an old bus in London.
Jax Jones said of the collaboration, “I'm very excited to be collaborating with Calum on Whistle. His vocals are outstanding and bring the song to life. 2023 is going to be a busy year for me and Whistle is the start of a long line of releases.”
With Scott adde, “I'm so happy to be collaborating with Jax on this record! I remember hearing an early demo of 'Whistle' and immediately wanted in with the boys to finish the song and record a vocal! Big fan of Jax as an artist but after hanging out with him and his family, I'm a big fan of him as a person too!”- Jax Jones continued, “With this run of music, I'm digging into my influences from when I was a teenager. That's why a lot of the songs sound nostalgic and why there are lots of visual nods to my early life. For example, we shot the video for Whistle on the buses that I took every day to my music classes; the 176 and the 363. Using those routes allowed me to show my version of London, such as the multicultural aspects that influenced me musically and make up so much of who I am today. Similarly with the artwork you'll find nods towards the influences from my youth. By showing these influences I'm exploring the idea of taking things that you grew up with and inserting yourself into them, allowing you to take ownership of them rather than be put on a pedestal now that I'm older.”
