Neon Dreams and Matthew Mole on one track? Pinch us! We must be dreaming! The Canadian pop duo and Mzansi’s pop superstar have joined forces on a catchy new hit titled ‘The Art Of Letting Go’ which, honestly, is a welcomed surprise sonically. The track shows off a new side of the stars and has been taking over radio stations across the country and rest of the world – including Canada.
As the track continues to surge, Neon Dreams and Matthew Mole have premiered the official music video for the track, directed by Neon Dreams frontman Frank Kadillac and South African filmmaker Dan Lewis Cole.
The video brings the song’s lyrics to life as Mole sings alone in a bedroom covered in posters of famous musicians, before quickly revealing that everything is not as it seems … from the posters (actual photos of Neon Dreams and Mole) to the bedroom (Neon Dreams’ practice space). It quickly becomes a raucous nostalgia-fueled fever dream filled with visual references from the 90s and 00s, showcasing each artist’s electric charisma as they trade verses.
“Writing with Matthew Mole is electric. When you meet people with similar values it’s going to instantly amplify the moment you’re in. With ‘The Art of Letting Go’, I’d just returned from India, and I was feeling unbelievably inspired. With this song I wanted to create a track that’s an anthem for kids who are going through something they may not have a word for, something that’s hard to describe… and I wanted to help teach them to let go of something that’s hurting them,” Neon Dreams’ vocalist Frank Kadillac tells us. “Energy flows through us like water flows through a river. Music is a powerful tool that can help people acknowledge negative energy and release it. That’s the art of letting go.”
“I met Neon Dreams in South Africa in 2022,” adds Matthew Mole. “At the time, I’d been working on a pop-punk song. It turns out that genre is loved by Neon Dreams as much as I love it! Then we got into the studio together just to see what would happen…and that’s where ‘The Art of Letting Go’ was born!”.
