ILoveMakonnen Release New Mike WiLL Made It Produced Track

(Radio.com) Recent OVO signee ILoveMakonnen has just shared a new song produced by fellow Atlantan Mike WiLL Made It. "Wishin You Well" features a gorgeous, Eastern-tinged instrumental: what sounds like a sitar reverberates over lush strings and low-key 808 snares. George Harrison's solo work comes to mind.

Makonnen's verse finds him recounting lost loves in states around the country. "Hanging out in Oakland," he raps, "where your friend got shot on the corner."

From there we're off to Seattle, to LA to Reno, Arizona. Oops, he meant Nevada. "I been drinking these things from the bottle," he admits.
"I can't remember."

Makonnen's voice doesn't follow any known law of rhythm or pitch. Like his lyrics, it feels natural and improvised, like a hummingbird darting around the register.
