WESLEE (@weareweslee) is an enigmatic duo comprised of producer Josh Grant and singer-songwriter Emma DD. Not too long ago, they released their immersive three-track EP, “Weslee World 1.”

“Weslee World 1” begins with “Love You I Do,” a dusky, downtempo single that tenderly sets the scene for this complex love story to unfold. Its lush chords entice the listener before an ‘80s-inspired bass brings depth and warmth, while Emma DD’s vocals gently guide us through the vivid experience.

“What It Feels Like” captures the butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling that a new crush can bring, an unmistakable sensation that’s often beautiful but also very unsettling. This psychedelic offering subtly mimics this feeling with its lush, ethereal soundscape, before Emma DD’s vocals arrive accompanied by the song’s voluptuous bassline, and a depth of emotion is instantly conjured.
WESLEE – “Big Collide” single
“Big Collide is a song about that point in the relationship where you realize it’s the beginning of the end. Maybe the end has already started but you’re only now realizing and the only way is down from here. You can tell in their behavior, it’s not what they say but how they say it, it’s clear in how they act. Things are different when a relationship is ending. The message of ‘Big Collide’ is that’s what love is. Love is two people colliding their lives, themselves, into each other. Sometimes that’s great and harmonious, and sometimes … it’s a car crash – which is what this song is about. It’s during it all and that feeling as it’s happening, seeing the relationship for what it is.” – WESLEE explained
“Big Collide” is the final act in this creative trilogy, and provides a beautiful take on a relationship breakdown where these struggles with love finally come to a head. Favoring WESLEE’s dreamlike production with a chunky ‘80s bassline, Emma DD softly states “To fall in love is suicide” before “Big Collide” gradually builds to anthemic levels. It’s a sublime listen, and a fitting end to this journey which simultaneously explores love and chaos.
As per ‘Love You I Do’ and ‘What It Feels Like’, ‘Big Collide’ has also received a visual treatment from multidisciplinary artist Agnes Xantippa Boman who has created its official music video, set to be released on the 24th of January. Using a house that’s burning down to symbolize a relationship that’s coming to its end, the video’s vibrant color palette of pinks, purples, and reds powerfully brings WESLEE’s creative universe to life.
