After a lot of teasing and taking fans through the process of his new song with Calum Scott, Jax Jones released his new collab 'Whistle' on 10th February.

The song, which has a very catchy baseline, sees the the pair working together on a song that wouldn't be out of place in the 90s, as it features 90s dance music vibes.

Speaking about his new song, Jax Jones hinted that this song is just the beginning, saying: "I'm very excited to be collaborating with Calum on 'Whistle'. His vocals are outstanding and bring the song to life. 2023 is going to be a busy year for me and 'Whistle' is the start of a long line of releases."

Watch the music video for Jax Jones and Calum Scott's 'Whistle' below:

He continued: "With this run of music, I'm digging into my influences from when I was a teenager. That's why a lot of the songs sound nostalgic and why there are lots of visual nods to my early life.

"For example, we shot the video for 'Whistle' on the buses that I took every day to my music classes; the 176 and the 363. Using those routes allowed me to show my version of London, such as the multicultural aspects that influenced me musically and make up so much of who I am today.

"Similarly with the artwork you'll find nods towards the influences from my youth. By showing these influences I'm exploring the idea of taking things that you grew up with and inserting yourself into them, allowing you to take ownership of them rather than be put on a pedestal now that I'm older."

Calum Scott also said of the collab: "So happy to be collaborating with Jax on this record! I remember hearing an early demo of ‘Whistle’ and immediately wanted in with the boys to finish the song and record a vocal! Big fan of Jax as an artist but after hanging out with him and his family, I’m a big fan of him as a person too! Excited for everyone to hear ‘Whistle’!"
