Watch [@flohio16] and [@ato_alexander] Discover Their Full-Circle Moment on ‘No Caroline Remix’
The pair grab us by the hand as they venture around West London (where ATO made his first venture into the city at 18-years-old) and then Leeds, where his dad grew up, on a day as warm and friendly as many Northeners.
The nostalgic setting makes way for Flohio and ATO to effortlessly deliver their brand of emotive storytelling. His 2019 collaboration ‘Falling’, featuring Vic Mensa, rocked the boat in the UK music scene and the artist went on to release a series of hits thereafter.
Speaking on the remix, ATO says: “When “No Caroline” was first made, there were a million ideas for which direction to take the song, so a remix felt inevitable. I wanted it to be in the same world as the original but with a new dynamic, to make it feel more like a rebirth than a remix…” he says, “Once Flo laid her verse, we started looking at ways to tie the new dynamic together. Following Flo, it felt like the hook needed something new. We came up with a response melody that was initially intended for me. Eden ended up laying down the demo and it just felt great, so we kept it that way. This approach captures the process of making the remix: being open-minded to completely fresh ideas.”
