When asked how the collaboration came about, Joel explains, “I was working on “Head & Heart” for a while. I started on the project in November 2019. I knew the track had potential, however it needed a new vocal and some extra parts written. Fast forward to March 2020 and the demo fell into MNEK’s hands. MNEK messaged me on Instagram and said he loved the track, I was buzzing! It was just as the UK went into lockdown, so we could not get into the studio together. However, we both worked on it from home and chatted everyday on WhatsApp. MNEK killed it on the vocals and wrote the pre-chorus. We finished the track together and we are so happy with the amazing response it has had.”

 


Joel was also asked if once the song was finished, did he think he’d be sitting on a worldwide smash, he says, “I knew it was a special record, however, I never predicted the success it was going to have. It is a total dream come true. I am buzzing to see people connecting with the song, and happy it is bringing people positive vibes during a difficult time.”
