Cool_V2: MERGES & Kaelin Ellis Unite for Neo-Soul Magic

Discover cool_v2, the reimagined version of MERGES track cool, now molded into a neo-soul gem with the help of multi-platinum producer Kaelin Ellis. This captivating blend of MERGES’ distinct vocals and Kaelin Ellis’ production expertise takes listeners on an exciting journey.

MERGES’ original rendition of cool felt almost like a ballad, showcasing her distinctive and delicate vocal style. On the revamped version, MERGES vocals glide effortlessly over Kaelin Ellis’ heavy drums and bass to create a nostalgic and fresh sound.

Kaelin Ellis, known for his multi-platinum productions, adds a new dimension to cool by incorporating a retro R&B vibe reminiscent of a previous era. The pulsating drums and smooth basslines conjure the perfect backdrop for MERGES’ distinct voice as they work in tandem to capture a soulful groove.

You see a side and
It’s another side I’m hiding
But when we get in private
I lose self control

You like it when I’m riding (for u)
Ima let you drive it
You break it you buy it
You taking me home

The lyrics delve into the complexities of relationships in the realms of unrequited love. MERGES sings about her wants and desires but cannot understand the lack of commitment. The chorus emphasises a sense of closeness and intimacy, allowing the listener to feel the sensual connection between the two people in the song.

I know you’re wondering
If this is really all there is?
Why we always end up on this ride?
I know it means something
Why you always down play it
You can’t go without us
Dont lie
Don’t lie
It’s more than some nights
Know I got options
I put them aside

This theme adds depth to the song, as it touches upon the reality that relationships can sometimes offer a fleeting sense of security, despite the strong emotional bond between two people.

On cool_v2, MERGES and Kaelin Ellis sonically take listeners on an enjoyable and memorable journey through love, vulnerability, and the complexities of human connection.
