Jax Jones and Calum Scott have released their new collaborative single Whistle.

The DJ and producer has teamed up with the the former ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ star on the nostalgic track, with its accompanying video harking back to Hax’s childhood.

“2023 will be a busy year for me; Whistle is just the start,” he says. “I’m pleased I get to kick things off with a collab from Calum. His vocals are outstanding and bring so much class and emotion to Whistle.

“With this run of music, I’m digging into my influences from when I was young and trying to place more of myself, my life, and my inspiration into the creative. 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 my local buses, the 176 and the 363. I’d catch those buses nearly every day, either to my music classes or to help my mum with the shopping.

“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. The little boy you see in the video is me. I’m travelling to my music class and I’m helping my mum with the shopping.”

Revealing its a theme that will continue through his forthcoming releases, the hitmaker adds: “By showing these influences I’m exploring the idea of taking things that you grew up with and inserting yourself into them. In doing so, you’re taking ownership of those things rather than putting them on a pedestal now that you’re older.

“I’m excited to share the new music I’ve written and produced. I hope you enjoy Whistle and remember it’s just the start.”

Of the single, Calum continues: “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! Excited for everyone to hear Whistle.”
