“Boxing Underwater” is the kind of smooth tune that will make you feel cosy while floating around dreamy, yet dynamic music textures.

The song is a result of the collaboration between Australian duo Golding – comprising of Jay Bainbridge and Matt Bartlem – and US artist Cailin Russo, which led to a soul-tickling, melodic single.

Bainbridge looks at their collaboration with Cailin Russo as the missing piece that the track needed, with her almost ethereal voice managing to seamlessly lay atop a hypnotic instrumental bed.

With the meaning of the track itself kept somewhat vague on purpose, the accompanying video adds something in the way of context. Bartlem elaborates:

It was really important to us to show varying sides of relationships, not just the good but the bad too…We wanted to capture the emotion of a real relationship so we were lucky enough to have real-life couple Mikalah and Zohar star in the clip, you can truly feel the love and chemistry between them as you watch the video unfold.

With Nicholas Stevens on filming and directorial duties, the video is a beautifully engaging piece of work that complements the track perfectly.
