Electronic Artist What So Not Reworks MØ Collab “Mercy”; New Album ‘Anomaly’ Out Now
With his new album Anomaly out into the world, Chris Emerson, the brain behind What So Not, has shared the 2022 edit of “Mercy” alongside pop superstar MØ. Originally featured on her 2018 album Forever Neverland, What So Not and MØ give the song new life, as a more detailed production and heavier levels come into play.
“Mercy began on my first-ever trip to Nicaragua (which is almost where I bought my first house)”, Emerson shares. “I was backpacking through Central America and met JRM, James Flannigan; Georgia Ku, at this writing camp (JRM, of course, is also on On Air with Louis The Child and Captain Cuts). MØ heard the record in its early form and cut a beautiful stripped back ballad version with Two Feet for her album Forever Neverland. This hyper-amped What So Not-style edit has been such a climatic moment for my DJ sets, I’m ecstatic to have MØ on this album and have this out in the world. It’s a song where I really had time to step away from it, rethink it, and flex with all walks of analogue and hardware.”
