With everything going on, multi-platinum duo MKTO – Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller- released a hopeful track along with a music video for “Just Imagine It.” It was a fan-favorite track initially released in 2015 and garnering 72 million streams. The song provides optimism in times of need and encompasses a powerful message of using your voice for good and making a positive change in the world, a message more relevant today than ever.
On how the message of the song relates to the world today with COVID-19 and the upcoming presidential election, Oller says, “I think we should just focus on what we can do as individuals to help our fellow human right now. The amount of workers working on the front lines daily with a disease that is killing more and more, they are the heroes. I’m more grateful for them and want to do anything we can do to support them, which is why social distancing and quarantining yourself is the best way to help if you’re not sure what to do. They’re more important than any upcoming election.”
Together, the duo blurs the lines between pop and R&B with timeless charisma and an enviable level of swagger. The group recently released their latest single+video “Party With My Friends,” an anthem for living life to the fullest by celebrating and embracing moments with friends and doesn’t ignore what’s going on around in the world but acknowledges it while recognizing that joy, friendship, and happiness still exist, too. MKTO is now signed to Crooked Paintings and has been working on new music.
