From Australia’s sun-drenched beaches, Anime-inspired duo LMNT 115 collaborates with British powerhouse vocalist Zak Abel for their newest song, “Out of the Dark.” Known for his captivating partnerships with Kygo, Avicii, Alan Walker, and Alok, Zak Abel provides his soulful, near-country-tinted vocals to this upbeat summer song that develops from delicate piano chords into a euphoric chorus powered by groovy basslines and organic feel-good instrument. Following the duo’s amazing breakout success with their first song “Close To You” from November 2024 and its follow-up “Holding On To Us” (which collected 7.5 million views and streams combined), their third official release “Out of the Dark” carries a message of optimism, warmth, and emotional rebirth. This partnership highlights LMNT 115’s storytelling ability with a touching music video matching the track’s message of light sprouting after darkness. It cements their position as emerging stars in the international dance-pop scene.
LMNT 115 is a newly formed producer couple covered in mystery yet captivating; rather than revealing their actual identities, they use custom-designed animated personas. Officially launched on November 15, 2024, the same day they dropped their first song, the project has since enthralled viewers with its futuristic look and cinematic narrative. Z, the charming composer, and Fab, the silent but brilliant producer make up the pair. Drawing inspiration from Anime/Manga, cyberpunk cityscapes, and the tenacious spirit of resilience, they create a universe as fascinating as their music. Inspired from Element 115, a theorized extraterrestrial fuel substance, their moniker reflects the unquestionable creative energy that has motivated them from youth. While their creative vision mirrors those of Gorillaz, sonically they share space with performers like Marshmello, MEDUZA, Calvin Harris, and Loud Luxury. LMNT 115 is creating a niche where music and immersive narrative meet with an amazing first single, an increasing presence, a strong artistic vision, and more songs set to be released this year.
Known for his passionate vocals and genre-blending approach mixing pop, soul, country, and electronic music, Zak Abel is a British songwriter and producer. He has grown as both a solo performer and a requested partner since his breakout collaborations in the middle of the 2010s. Zak Abel released “Home” (January 17) and “My Way” (April 25) in early 2025, signifying his return to solo work following his 2023 album “Love Over Fear.” Created with Robin Stjernberg and Ollie Green, these songs display his passionate lyric writing and vocal ability. On June 6, Abel and fellow British singer-songwriter Rhys Lewis released a touching duet called “Brother To Me.” The song investigates male vulnerability and mental health topics. Several well-known songs have come from Abel’s continued cooperation with Norwegian DJ Kygo. Their first release, “For Life,” featuring Nile Rodgers, reached over 120 million streams in its first year of publication in April 2024. Following their prior cooperation on “Freedom,” part of Kygo’s “Golden Hour” album in 2020, Abel joined Kygo onstage throughout the Kygo World Tour, performing both “For Life” and “Freedom” in over 25 nations. Beyond his solo efforts, Zak Abel has written and highlighted on several projects. Other notable performances for Zak include appearing at the King’s coronation concert. He has worked with musicians including Avicii, Steve Aoki, Alok, Don Diablo, Alan Walker, and Tom Misch.
