ONiGS links with Mishell Ivon on “iNViSiBLE”

Over the years, Berlin-based artist ONiGS has earned a reputation for fusing style, innovation and musical versatility into a decorated artistic output unlike any other. His creative endeavour began in a uniquely cosmopolitan way; producing on his laptop while travelling the world as a fashion model for high-profile designers including Karl Lagerfeld. That early creative spark led to the formation of his first project, Phases of Life, which found him playing alongside acts like Nina Hagen, The Kooks and Orishas.

As finalists in the Coke Soundwave Competition Tour, the group performed at some of Germany’s biggest summer festivals including Rock am Ring, Melt, Highfield and Hurricane. Since the summer of 2022, ONiGS has been operating under his own name, revealing a fiercely unique style that blends slick modern production with deep grooves. That year, his debut single, “ViBEZ,” featuring J.O.Y, marked the start of this new chapter and has since been followed by a series of releases that have caught the attention of tastemakers and platforms alike, landing him spots on Spotify’s New Funk playlist and Hyundai USA’s official IONIQ 6 playlist.

As a VIP member of Timbaland’s Beatclub, he’s even been tapped to remix “Keep Going Up” by Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado. In January last year, he released a fresh take on “Rub You The Right Way,” the 1990 hit by Johnny Gill, penned by his heroes Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, a reimagining that earned a share from Jimmy Jam himself.

For his latest release, ONiGS links up once again with frequent collaborator and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Mishell Ivon, an underground pop sensation whose music stretches across funk, nu disco, soul, pop, jazz and rock. Mishell’s solo work is dripping in the nostalgic pulse of disco and boogie funk, but she delivers it with what she calls “Nu school” freshness, a balance of vintage warmth and modern energy.

Their new single titled “iNViSiBLE” sees the duo combining their strengths for a track that takes cues from artists like Michael Jackson, Prince,and Daft Punk, serving up an incredible cocktail of pop, rock and electro-funk. Set up by the punch of stuttered, gritty instrumentation, the crisp snap of the beat ushers in Mishell’s commanding vocal leads as she spins smooth hooks above the grooving arrangement.

Flowing with infectious melodic lines, colourful instrumental elements and shuffling percussion, Mishell’s stacked vocal layers float across the track to deliver an instantly catchy experience from start to finish. Wrapped up in ONiGS’ exquisite sound design, the impactful production results in a superb jam that sees the talents of the two artists collide in sensational fashion.

It’s a stellar showcase of ONiGS’s skill for crafting tight, danceable tracks and Mishell Ivon’s gift for delivering performances that feel thoroughly timeless and cutting edge. With “iNViSiBLE,” ONiGS and Mishell Ivon prove that when two groundbreaking artists join forces, the result is music that moves you and leaves a truly lasting impression.
