Jax Jones & Fireboy DML Share New Single ‘Me and My Guitar’
GRAMMY®-nominated and multi-platinum selling producer Jax Jones teams up with Nigerian singer-songwriter Fireboy DML to release an uplifting, autobiographical track Me & My Guitar.
Out now via Polydor Records, Me & My Guitar is a memorable blend of afro-pop/afrobeats with EDM that oozes feel-good summer vibes. This song explores Jones’ journey to discovering music and sees him sing for the very first time showcasing his versatility as an artist, beyond the DJ decks. Fireboy DML's vocals fit beautifully together with Jax's gorgeous tone, both soaring over an upbeat, blissful production packed with sun-soaked guitar riffs, catchy synths and percussive elements.
The official video for Me & My Guitar, directed by the esteemed KC Locke (Ed Sheeran, David Guetta, Aitch), was shot in London and features Jax and Fireboy soaring above the clouds of the London skyline. The video closes with a shot of a young Jax and Fireboy watching the sunset, feeling empowered and hopeful about their futures. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Jax Jones said,
This record is the first time I’m putting my own story in my music and also the first time I'm singing on a song as I want to find new ways to connect with my fans. Being an artist and having successful music for the last 10 years, it’s important to me to try and push myself creatively. I’ve been using classical guitar to write songs for 15 years and that’s what the song is about - a young Jax Jones trying to achieve my dreams. When I sent the song to Fireboy, he connected straight away and brought an amazing and authentic energy to it. My stepdad is Nigerian, so being able to connect with the song ethnically with Fireboy has been great.
