If you missed the sudden arrival of Axel Mansoor a few short months ago, then you best get hip to the program. His debut singles "Wasted My Love" and "Out of My Head" have collectively hit 1 million streams and notched some impressive milestones like Spotify US Viral Top 5 and Hype Machine #1. Well today we're celebrating the premiere of two delectable remixes from Sleeping Lion and Dulsae of "Wasted My Love". The first from Boston's Sleeping Lion being a downtempo experimental jam rife with layered modulated vocals, deep pulsating synths and playfully sexy melodic lines. The second from Dulsae is my personal favorite of the two - an upbeat exploration on the original that takes flight in the chorus with pulsing swarms of synth work that complements the guitar all too perfectly. Both valiant re-imaginings on the original it was tough to pick just one so I give you both!

AXEL MANSOOR - WASTED MY LOVE
Music, Original MixCommentYay I'm pumped I get to do this. Let me have the grand honor of introducing you to Axel Mansoor! I've known Axel since we were both in college together, and I'm amazingly happy to hear how awesome this release is. "Wasted My Love" is vibey af in the best possible way. The guitars are swelteringly sensual, and the delays and reverbs set a dreamy soundscape for this longing tune. Axel's falsetto vocals ebb and flow with a catchy chorus that rings out "wasted my love, you wasted my love." As the lyrcism sweeps downward with tenseness so does the chorus melody sink with the weight of the subject matter. We've all been in that situation when a relationship doesn't quite go as planned and you're left wondering if it was all worth it. I hope there's much more downtempo goodness following this tune from Axel, but before we move on lets enjoy the fulfilling vulnerability of this one. You can get this as a free download here.
