Singled Out: Mellowtoy's Chain Reaction

Today Matt Massa from Mellowtoy tells us about the song "Chain Reaction" (featuring guest vocals from Cristian Machado from Ill Nino) and it's video which comes from their brand new album "Lies". Here is the story:

There are a lot of stories behind the release of Chain Reaction, about the writing process, video shooting etc etc... Since the first demos of this song we thought about putting a guest vocal on it and we immediately consider Cristian from Ill Nino. We are friends with those guys and we toured a lot together, so we felt honored.

I've personally wrote to Cristian without any particular expectation about his answer, but he was super excited to do it. So we recorded the first version of the song and meet the guys during their Italian show. We listened to the song together and everyone were so happy.

Cris recorded his vocal parts at his studio and they sound incredible. I was shaking while I've heard it the first time. Super stoked. We've shoot the video during November 2014.

It was a very cold night and we recorded all the playback parts in only ONE NIGHT! While some of us were recording, the others were sleeping in the van. From midnight till 9am. Endless process haha. The video looks amazing.

We didn't wanted that Cris' parts were recorded in a different location so the director Matteo Di Gioia had the idea to represent him as a ghost moving around us, all hand-drawn. It looks sick!

Even Cristian was so happy about everything. Everyone had so much fun and we'd put everything on this song!

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
