JOE’s Song Of The Day #479: Moving Still ft. Xona & Ian McFarlane – ‘Green Light’

Carl Kinsella

Essential Saturday evening vibes.

Green Light is a chilled out R&B track resulting from a collaboration from producer Moving Still, songwriter Xona and bassist Ian McFarlane.

The composition of the track was suitably unorthodox — neither Moving Still nor Xona had even heard what the other had put together musically and lyrically until the day that the song was recorded.

While Xona has been studying music for years, it is only recently that he’s been comfortable putting his own music out there. “This song taught me that energy and the nervousness about vulnerability aren’t always a bad thing,” he told JOE. “It’s a sign that you’re saying something worthwhile as an artist, or at the very least, something true. ”

Fans of  Childish Gambino’s Redbone will absolutely go for this.
