Green Baker’s romantic vocals exude passion and longing, perfectly complementing the scenic beat that gradually builds to a brilliant crescendo. The fusion of their talents creates an immersive and captivating atmosphere, transporting listeners to a world of emotion and musical brilliance.
Watermelon Boy, known for his semi-fictional character and Ambassador to the Space Tropics, is set to ignite the summer with his highly anticipated album, “101 Tropical Hits from Cosmic Space.” This pristine collection encompasses a range of tracks, from laid-back sunbathing grooves to high-energy rave anthems. Collaborating with exceptional artists from around the world, such as BRYAN THE MENSAH from Ghana, Christian Enjel, The Color Duchess, and Tolu Ade from the US, Scando-American Okafuwa, as well as BIG BOSS, Freeds, and Paris Wells representing Watermelon Boy’s hometown of Melbourne, “101” promises an exhilarating and diverse musical journey.
The album features Watermelon Boy’s signature sound, characterized by fuzzy synths, tuned percussion, and complex rhythms. From the hyperpop vibes of “Remember Summer,” the afrobeats influence of “Kibaye,” to the carnival rave anthem “Bring It Further,” “101” is jam-packed with feel-good moments that will leave listeners wanting more. The album concludes with the final track, “Nerve,” which evokes the sensation of sand between your toes at sunset, providing the perfect ending to an unforgettable musical experience.
