About 2 Be was a single from myself released on 13th October 2021. The single featured singer / songwriterOhEm. About 2 Be marked a new direction for my musical sound as I released with new label Remedy Recs. I designed the single artwork and directed, edited and animated the accompanying music video.
‘The production pushes for attention throughout as Hislop throws more and more into the mix. It's an approach that works as the minimalist percussion combines with a fluorescent beat to create something that feels formally creative while still retaining the mainstream center needed to carry OhEm's pillow-soft vocals.’
THE FADER
‘For a unique take on the current pop genre, Hislop combines numerous rhythms and a hi-octane crescendo in this new single.’

‘The vocals on the track come courtesy of London-based artist OhEm, who delivers sublime lyrics about love, memories and "the best night of your life", with Hislop's twinkling melodies serving as the perfect backdrop.’
