WSTRN and Cashh collaborated on a new single, named ‘Wag1‘. The summery tune was released on the 22nd of July, and in time arrives to provide a soundtrack for the back-end of Summer 2020.
‘Wag1′ is the archetypal Summer tune. A catchy hook combined with a breezy beat and light verse creates a vibrant, easy, listening experience. The members of R & B collective WSTRN, compliment each other seamlessly. Lead vocalist, Haile, provides a melodic foil for the band’s emcees, Louis Rei and Akelle, to express themselves. Cashh, the featured artist, adds his characteristic Caribbean tone to augment the track’s sun-filled groove. The members of WSTRN could not contain their excitement at the release. Akelle labelled the track ‘the start of summer‘, and Haile simply captioned the release with ‘Vibesssss‘.
The single’s visuals accompanied the release. Vibrant and cheerful, the clip matches the ‘Wag1’s’ party theme. It displays the artists at an outdoor function, relaxing with friends and fans alike. The colours, the cars and the dance moves create a clip worthy of any timeless summer banger.
Cashh’s inclusion caps a busy year for the artist. He returned to the UK in October 2019, having been deported to his native Jamaica in 2015 over an investigation of his immigration documents. He released the singles ‘Trouble‘ and ‘Trench Baby‘, alongside a Daily Duppy with GRM Daily, as he reestablished himself on the UK music scene. His feature in ‘Wag1‘ is a huge opportunity to remind fans of his presence and distinctive sound.
‘Wag1‘ is a tune to be enjoyed in the sun. WSTRN have previous experience in providing a summer sound-track. Their nostalgic 2015 hit, ‘In2‘, capitalised on a similar seasonal sound. It appears that the group, true to form, may have struck summer gold again. ‘Wag1‘ holds includes the breezy elements needed for a smash-hit, and is sure to accompany BBQ’s across the land.
