What So Not Returns to His Roots with Euphoric New Single “As One”

What So Not and Herizen have teamed up for their new single “As One” which will be featured on What So Not’s sophomore album.

With the release of “As One” the Australian producer Chris Emerson AKA What So Not gives his fans a sneak peek of what’s to come.  He is set to release his 11-track sophomore album ‘Anomaly’ on September 16. The Album will feature huge collaborations with artists like MØ, Louis the Child, Oliver Tree, and many more extremely talented artists.

Leading fans on a journey through his album “As One” is a perfect introduction with an upbeat mesmerizing tune that is sure to take the dancefloors by storm. This track is filled with bubbly vibrant beats and synths that are like waves in the ocean. The track also features deeply sincere vocals from Herizen that give the song a beautifully rounded feel. 

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. 

What So Not has been grabbing the world’s attention for almost 10 years now playing everywhere from small local venues to the main stage at festivals like Ultra and Lollapalooza. He has also made huge waves in the EDM ocean with legendary remixes for artists like RÜFÜS DU SOL and Run The Jewels.  He has even won a variety of awards like an AIR Award and a Queensland Music Award on his journey to stardom. 

Fans can hope to catch a glimpse of the unreleased songs off of ‘Anamoly’ at the show What So Not is set to play across the world before its release on September 16. He recently just played a set at Shambhala in Canada and he has remaining shows in The Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and even an appearance in the US at High Ground music and art festival in Colorado.
