Wotts releases brand new single “ALLO!”

Coming out of Ottawa, the duo known as Wotts is generating a buzz with their infectious brand of indie pop. Formed by musicians Ricky 100 and Jayem, Wotts is making a name for themselves with music written, recorded and produced right out of their bedrooms.

Over the past couple of years, their music has struck a chord with fans across the globe, capturing hearts with a unique sound and catchy sound. They made their debut in June 2021 with the release of “Before,” a single that laid the foundation for their inevitable rise.

Since then, they’ve consistently delivered hit-worthy singles, including a collaboration with The Desert Island Big Band on “Six-Shooter.” Throughout this year, Wotts has been dazzling their listeners with a string of sensational singles and now their latest release, “ALLO!,” serves as the opening track for their upcoming EP, PETALS.

With “ALLO!” the band continues to roll out their evolving sonic output with another charming synth pop outing. Opened by the bright sparkles of soft synth plucks, the strike the drums ushers in an uptempo dance pop energy full of grooving rhythm, warm bass lines and airy vocal leads carrying infectious melodic leads as distant guitar tones flutter and the array of synth textures forms a colourful fabric.

It captures the delight of retro synth pop while wrapping it in Wotts distinct sound. Capped by a slick guitar solo before the chorus sees the vocals and guitar dance together, it’s another stunning display of this duo’s songwriting panache, production talent and superb musicianship.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Pond and Djo, “ALLO!” is a celebration of love’s intoxicating power, while setting up the wider context of unrequited love that the band’s forthcoming EP is set to cover. The single perfectly captures a snapshot of a musical outfit in an exciting stage as they continue to explore their sound and hit the mark every time.
