Will Lisil’s infectiously catchy singles return with ‘Elon Musk’. Punchy and electrified rock vibes with group vocal howls and distorted rhythms, ‘Elon Musk’ is like a polar opposite of Lisil’s smash hit ‘Lula Ladrao’, but in a way, it has this Will Lisil thing that can’t be explained.
Will Lisil is a creative musician and producer who shapeshifts as often as he eats breakfast, with each single being worlds apart from the previous, or the next. Based in London, Lisil carries his Brazilian roots proudly in his lyrics.
‘Elon Musk’ tackles an electric rock sound that’s reminiscent of Linkin Park or Imagine Dragons. Deeply political in nature, ‘Elon Musk’ is accompanied by an aggressive video, AI-generated, full of suggestive, rebellious imagery. Quite profound and powerful actually, and goes really well against the song’s sensational scale and pounding grandeur. ‘Elon Musk’ is still an experiment in its core, with experimentation being kind of Will Lisil’s thing. It is refreshing to think that this is the moment Lisil did rock, and that he might never return to it again.
Like lightning in a bottle, Will Lisil’s singles are hard to predict, but always exciting to experience. Whether he is dealing with South American hip hop or electric hard rock, Will Lisil knows how to give his songs a certain zing that makes them particularly catchy. ‘Elon Musk’ follows suit.
