After two outstanding tracks on the 2021 album “101 Tropical Hits from Cosmic Space” Melbourne producer Watermelon Boy and Ghanian vocalist BRYAN THE MENSAH have teamed up again for summer prelude “No Problems”.
Since 2017 Watermelon Boy has made music to feel good too. A unique combination of sounds from the southern continents, sparkling with electronic glamour. Having combined influences, ranging from Future Bass to Reggaeton & Afrobeats, Watermelon Boy (Arlo Enemark) has established something unique in the Australian music scene. A sound that’s both vast and concise. “I want to take people to those special memories they have of summer holidays, visiting the tropics and being warm and free.” says Arlo . “It’s dance music but it’s easy to relax to.”.
Very nearly crossing paths at the start of 2020 Watermelon Boy and BRYAN THE MENSAH have since worked on three tracks together. “I was in Ghana early 2020 and I sent Bryan a message asking to collaborate. It wasn’t until I was already on my way home that he got the message and we started working together. Since then it’s been so fun collaborating and Bryan’s gone from strength to strength as an artist, becoming one of Ghana’s favourite new talents.” Their first collaboration “Same Day, Same Thing” was released later in 2020 and features a guest verse from Melbourne pop mensch Freeds. Watermelon Boy’s sparkling groove and Bryan’s stellar tone were a match made in heaven.
Their latest single “No Problems” has a big, open beat with a bouncing bassline. BRYAN THE MENSAH’s topline sings sweetly about making time quality time in the sun and escaping the rat race in contrast to society’s expectation of constant hustle. Potentially their strongest work yet, the track is funky, hooky and fun.
