“Let Go Of The Wheel” sits alongside other highlights such as: “Wish You Back” featuring Kwesi; “Smoke Filled Room,” MAKO‘s breakthrough single which soared into pop and dance radio airplay charts via continuous support on SiriusXM’s BPM and iHeartRadio’s Evolution channels and landed at #1 on the Dance Airplay chart; “North Dakota,” a stunning and unique soulful ballad about finding solace outside of the big city; “Run for Your Life,” which is three minutes of pop genius produced with the help of Norway’s Rat City and features a guest vocal from Natalola; and “Craziest Day I Ever Had,” a hilarious tale of misadventure in Los Angeles.
Around the release of the album, MAKO will perform their first-ever live shows with a trio of showcases at the Mercury Lounge in New York City December 6, Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco December 13 and Resident in Los Angeles December 14.

Let Go Of The Wheel
Do you remember whispering “I’m falling hard”
We were drinking whiskey at your father’s house
You took me by the hand and then we kissed for hours
Those were the good days, those were the good days
Do you remember life had took you far from here
And I could see you crying even when you held back tears
Leaving me behind was everything you feared
I said remember the good days, remember the good days
Oh, so here’s hoping that everything everything will work out
Here’s knowing we’ll never be never be able to fix this all ourselves
*** all about tomorrow, that’s how I feel, just let go of the wheel
But it’s all about tomorrow, follow me there
What I’m trying to say is
Hey you, let go of the wheel
Like someone cut the breaks loose let’s get lost for real
I know love will find a way to you
But would you trust me if it took a leap of faith to make it real
Just let go of the wheel
Do you remember climbing out your window sill
You met me late at not before the sun could hold you still
We ran until we’re tired, poor, and huddled here
Holding onto the good days, onto the good days
Oh, so here’s hoping that everything everything will work out
Here’s knowing we’ll never be never be able to fix this all ourselves
But it’s all about tomorrow, follow me there
What I’m trying to say is
Hey you, let go of the wheel
Like someone cut the breaks loose lets get lost for real
I know love will find a way to you
But would you trust me if it took a leap of faith to make it real
Just let go of the wheel
About MAKO:
In an era where unexpected ingredients thrive, MAKO (Logan Light and Alex Seaver)offers a truly unique experience. Before an introduction was made, the two budding artists spent their early life progressing musically in radically different worlds. Alex attended The Juilliard School on full scholarship as musician and played with some of the world’s elite classical artists in the most storied of venues. Meanwhile, Logan was quietly mastering the art of DJing and within only a few years, began opening for some of dance music’s biggest international acts, including Tiesto and Avicii, and major appearances including Lollapalooza. The duo’s first release “Beam” quickly circulated on blogs and YouTube, logging more than 5.7 million views to date. The track was featured on SiriusXM’s Beta Test Tuesday which then prompted them to proclaim MAKO is “the next big thing.” Since then, MAKO has found themselves in studio with some of dance music’s top artists: Avicii, Steve Angello, Sander Van Doorn, R3hab, DubVision, Heather Bright, Le Castle Vania and many others.
