Holly x Jon Santana release new single ‘Galaxy (ft. Ashley Leone)’
Loving those electronics and Ashley's soulful vocals. Such a chilled out track with a dreamy atmosphere that you can stream below!
Speaking about the collaboration, Nashville-based producer Jon Santana said,
Holly initially reached out to me, almost a year and a half ago, about a collaboration and had sent a couple of song ideas to work off of. The one that ended up being Galaxy is what stuck out to me because of it’s potential to be something different. I went through a few versions of the track before I landed on the version that I knew Ashley would be able to elevate and complete. We wanted to do a drop, but we also knew we wanted to keep it unique, so sampling Ashley’s vocals helped to shape that idea.
Contemporary R&B artist/writer Ashley Leone added,
Jon showed me the track in Nashville when we first began working together, and we just started writing to it in the studio. Holly was down with the idea, and so we went with it. It all came together pretty naturally. It’s a little different than what I usually create so I was really excited to experiment with the track when I first heard it. It made me feel like we were in space so I tried to capitalize on what I initially felt. I’m really excited I got to be a part of this collaboration. The vibe of a song is really big for me, and I think we created something you can just chill and listen to.
Despite hitting the scene a mere four years ago, Lisbon-based Holly has toured North America, Europe, Australia, Africa and Asia stemming from a flood of releases on Buygore, Fool's Gold, Revealed Recordings, Dim Mak, Circus Records, Monstercat and Division Recordings. Whilst earning steadfast support from the likes of Bassnectar, Baauer, Noisia, DJ Shadow, Martin Garrix, The Chainsmokers, Borgore and Steve Aoki, he was featured in DJ MAG and Run The Trap as one of their ‘Top 25 Artists to Watch in 2018’.
