Dutch DJ/producer Mike Mago and UK vocalist/songwriter Kelli-Leigh team up on the new single “On Repeat”. Kelli-Leigh’s soulful vocals powerfully capture the experience of not being able to get someone out of your mind – a sense that Mago echoes and amplifies musically in the propulsive, dancefloor-ready track.
“I have been a fan of Kelli-Leigh’s voice for ages and really felt her lyrics when I first heard her acapella demo for ‘On Repeat’. Of course, I think she can make any lyric sound great!” recalls Mike Mago. “I tried to match the lyrical concept of the song with something musically that has a repetitive drive but still sounds adventurous – hence the loop that varies in timing. It was truly one of those processes that just seemed to work from the get-go.”
Kelli-Leigh adds, “I loved Mike’s music from the first time I heard ‘Deeper Love,’ which was sung by my friend Jessica Greenfield a few years back – a big record! So I was really excited to collaborate. I wrote the ‘On Repeat’ vocal with Charlotte Haining and, when Mike sent over his first draft mix of the track, we loved it. He brought the topline to life and that drop is huge!”
