Herizen and What So Not are no strangers to collaborating together back in 2019 the pair released the iconic jam “We Can Be Friends”. What So Not stated that this new collaboration “As One” was “for some time, this song was just an iPhone recording of the two of us riffing in the house one day. Me on an OP1 synth & Herizen humming melodies. I later showed the recording to DUSKUS and we quickly fleshed out a tune pretty close to what you hear today.” Herizen said: “When I wrote this song, I had my heart on my sleeve, I was so happy and full, it all just poured out of me that the song pretty much wrote itself.”
With “As One” set as the closing song for the album ‘Anamoly’ it gives fans an idea of the immense journey through sound that What So Not has prepared for them. The first song of ‘Anamoly’ “Alive” features “belting” vocals from Chris himself. Fans also got another taste of what is to come with the previous single “Mr. Regular” which features the talented artists Oliver Tree and Killer Mike and was released at the end of May.
