Rowdy Essex trio, LOWLIFE, have released a brand-new track and music video titled “ ELON” today via Hellcat Records. Their 2020 debut track “ WASTELAND” has over 500,000 streams and their last single “ FRIENDS” dropped in 2021 and brought together their eclectic musical influences. “ ELON” fits right in, sonically referencing 2000’s hip-hop with production reminiscent of Timbaland, inspired by the youthful energy and bombastic rhymes of the Beastie Boys. The accompanying music video visually cites Y2K and classic West Coast symbolism which the group conceived and executed all on their own.
About the track the band states, “ELON is about drive/willpower; being on a ride and not knowing for sure what the outcome will bring yet still pursuing the adventure. The song being called ‘Elon’ is a reference to Musk and his innovative ideas, despite disbelief from many. This also holds true as an artist, following a vision and pathway whilst many may question it until they see the end product. The lyrics play amongst this reference whilst also capturing the naivety of youth with lines such as, ‘Wait a minute near sleepless, self-drive strike genius, thank Elon – convenience’.” |
