Recently Melbourne singer-songwriter-rapper Dylan Joel released his latest single Hollering Love, which followed fan track Done Witchu. Both tracks are the follow-up to February’s Run To The River, which appeared on numerous Apple Music and Spotify “New Music Friday” playlists worldwide.

Joel said: “Done Witchu is me reflecting on a time where I was hanging round with a group of people that I knew weren’t good for me. I was starting to become someone I didn’t like; only closely avoiding run-ins with the law. Separating myself and re-evaluating the company I had, created room for me to change that.”

Conversely, Hollering Love is full of positive vibes and joyful rebellion. Joel continues: “I’ve been told by people in the music industry, that it’s not cool to talk about positive things. That it’s cooler to act like you don’t care and instead, talk about the dark shit in our lives. I feel sorry for the people who feel that way. I believe that in a world full of so much hate, loving is the biggest act of rebellion. This song is inspired by the incredibly talented, kind, loving and fly AF friends that I have, making this movement of love real.”

Both Done Witchu and Hollering Love showcase Joel’s incredible songwriting skills, crafty lyrics and deft wordplay. Done Witchu offers a gritty throwback for his fanbase, complete with a moodily-lit, edgy video; while focus single Hollering Love is an extension of the hooky earworms as hinted in previous single Run To The River, with the video echoing the themes of love and positivity explored in its lyrics.

With these striking accompanying visuals – both directed by Grey Ghost – Dylan Joel’s next step is more of a giant leap. Of the video for Hollering Love, Grey Ghost said:

“At a time full of paranoia, particularly about gangs and what is deemed as suspicious activity, I loved the concept of a clique that seem to be up to no good, but are in fact planning an act of love. The truth is this world has more people wanting to do good than wanting to inflict harm.”

Dylan Joel is blossoming. Following his successful 2015 debut (and triple j feature album), Authentic Lemonade, and a string of national tours, this young artist has re-emerged in 2018 with a refreshed sound and an update on what makes him such an “undeniable talent” (TheMusic.com.au).
