The long-awaited collab between Dillon Francis and Allison Wonderland has finally dropped. ‘Lost My Mind’ is well worth the wait and the hype. It truly shows the best of both of these producers.
Right from the get-go, we are introduced to deeply layered sound. There are synths, but underneath that, you can hear a softer, gentle noise that almost sounds like xylophones. But there’s no time to dwell on that sound or to try to figure it out because as soon as it’s there, it’s gone.
We’re hit with Allison’s beautiful vocals. They too are layered. The effects put on the vocals really drive home the feeling of losing your mind. There’s so much going on, it’s impossible to focus on it all at once. And that’s a good thing.
The vocals lead up to a drop, before settling down and going back to more vocals. The song is very balanced. It’s so well done. And gets us very excited for their joint tour. It’ll be interesting to see a further blend of their styles and how they incorporate the song.
Along with the release, Dillon revealed how the collaboration came about. We have Croatia playing in the World Cup to thank. Both Dillon and Allison are Croatian and they were rooting for their little underdog of a country. They made the deal that if Croatia won, they’d make a happy song. If they lost, they’d make a sad and angry song. And…well…here we are. Hopefully someday Croatia will win and we can hear their happy song.
Tickets are still on sale for the Lost My Mind Tour. And you can listen to the song below.
