Hailing from Beijing, China, Willim is an electronic visionary at his core who aims to bring his oriental heritage to the forefront of his sound. While he’s relatively new in the international scene, he has accumulated over thirty million streams on one of the biggest Chinese streaming platforms, Netease. Today, the momentum-gaining producer makes a powerful debut on Trap Nation’s Lowly. with a heartfelt single titled ‘Heart of Stone.’
In a battle of eastern versus western sounds, Willim paints a story of how a failing relationship exhausts us to the point of depletion. This emotionally-drenched ode exudes sullen warmth with Akacia’s angelic vocals gliding over, as Willim belts out the emotive chorus. Seamlessly weaving traditional Asian instrumental elements such as India’s Bansuri and China’s Xiao with a contemporary future bass framework, Willim’s production versatility is on full display in this lush ballad. Meant for easy listening as you reminisce on the longer, warmer days of summer, ‘Heart of Stone’ is a sonically pleasing track that highlights the Chinese producer’s natural talents.
