Night Wolf’s latest single, Unstoppable is moody, free-flowing, and overall charming. With swirling motifs and hypnotic textures, the song draws you in with its cinematic allure immediately. Night Wolf’s sound leans into this trippy, expansive atmosphere, and this track showcases it masterfully.
“Unstoppable” feels like a surge of confidence and emotional release. What moment, emotion, or personal experience first sparked this track?
L.P: Yes for sure. I was gripped by a new lust for life, broke up with my boyfriend a few months before, went travelling and started caring less about what people think. It was a rebirth.
N.W: Lois wrote the lyrics for this song but we built it from the ground up together, unlike our first two songs, Lost My Way Home and Death Of The Wolf where I had completed most of the production before Lois came to sing those songs, so this was our first song together where we are creating something from nothing together. Lois had sent me some voice notes with her playing and signing the guitar and the riff stuck out to me that kept repeating, I was already building where it would go in my head before I got her to come to my home studio and record it. We then built the track around the guitar part after processing and looping it and stretched it out long enough for Lois to then just go at it on the microphone. So in regards to the music it just followed what Lois was doing vocally and each take we went a little harder pushing it further each time. The song builds to a slow burn climax with resolution as it reflects our recording process so it naturally works on the song. We had just finished Death of the Wolf and I personally wanted to switch direction a little and of course allow Lois to finally take full control of where and how the lyrics would flow. It was all just based on how we were feeling that day and how the lyrics and Lois’s tone made the song start to shape together that directed my instrumentation choice. We made it in an afternoon and it was completed the next day or so, as I said it all flowed very easily.
You’ve described your process as experimental and boundary-pushing. What risks did you take while shaping the sound of “Unstoppable,” and did anything surprise you during production?
L.P: The vocals for ‘breathe air’ at the end are quite surprising. I was clearly vibing when I recorded this and would struggle to create the same sound off the bat.
N.W: I would say that description is mainly meant for my production as a whole across the board, I do not tend to stick in a specific genre and just make music based around how I feel and that is mostly depressed, which in turn works out to be pretty good for making music, so please do not make me happy! But in regards to this recording session, neither of us had really even discussed what we were going to do other then knowing I wanted to record Lois playing the guitar, it was all very experimental as we built the song and learned how we can create a song far along enough so Lois can go at it again and again, she left me that night with a lot of vocal takes , but we both focused in on the chorus section and knew that would work well for verses to lead up too or come after and it just naturally felt like it had to have a climax at the end to have everything come together finally and feel like some kind of resolution. Lois always surprises me with what she does on microphone as I do not know what she is going to sing as we do not discuss it , it just happens, Lois says she is ready to go and then she will just keep going, which is fantastic and allows us to track a lot of harmonies and parts I take and use as backing vocals etc. This was as said before the first song together and was built from the ground up so we certainly were able to learn more about each other and how we operate when creating something from scratch.
This track marks another collaboration with Lois Powell. How does your creative chemistry evolve each time you work together, and what did she bring uniquely to this song?
L.P: I brought my feelings!
N.W: We learn a lot about each other and how our brains are wired when we keep creating music together, as I had somewhat complete productions before Unstoppable was made, we learnt a lot about how we create from the ground up together. I think our next song The Laws Of Life which is released on 21st March 2026 on EscaVolt Records, shows us coming together where we have learnt lessons from 3 songs before with each other and the production is more catered around Lois’s vocals and harmonies that drive the song, it feels somewhat more mature I think than Unstoppable and has an elegance, not that Unstoppable does not, its just in regards to the question , you can I think hear our musical relationship evolving as you progress through each of our songs. I really enjoyed creating Unstoppable with Lois and it was a turning point for us I guess looking back from the future that has allowed us to know we will be able to continue to work together to create something special in the near future. I believe our best work is yet to come so watch this space. I believe me and Lois work really well for the style of music I enjoy to create and she is very talented so expect her to shine in her own light.
You’ve been producing since 2018 and working with labels across Europe. How has your artistic identity changed from your early releases to a song as bold as “Unstoppable”?
N.W: Well I have certainly refined my music and production techniques since first releasing my first album with Flipper Music in 2018 and am still learning, but I have been creating music my whole life, had a drum kit at 3 which I broke like a little rock star, went to Scottish marching band and percussion groups , played the drums with many best friends made in guitar players through school and creating bands, going from 8 members called Hed Shot to 4 members and no name but sounding a lot better!
I then took piano lessons from a young age too and we were lucky enough to have an upright piano at home. I only got my grade 3 and stopped wanting to go to lessons when I had a strong urge to create my own music rather than playing other peoples' music. Which I regret somewhat now as I am older and want to play the piano more and more, it is not too late to finish my grades and is most likely another thing I will aim to tick off my list of things to do! I then got my first workstation when I was 18 I think, it was a Roland Fantom X6 and I learnt how to put together full songs on this without using a laptop or DAW up until I learnt how to use one when I was 19-20 years old! I then first released some albums with a newly formed label in Swansea I think called Fly Productionz, after a lack luster start in the music world I was approached during this time by a music library called The Music Jar and landed my first Film Trailer through them for The Essex Boys Retribution where they used 2 pieces of my music one with a fellow producer called Centrist who I collaborated with remotely for a few years. After this I went on a long travelling journey and got very lost in my life up till around a point in 2018 where I was approached by Flipper Music with an offer. I then ended up over this time releasing 9 albums with them and have I would say quite an impressive line up of clients and placements now that have either used or still use my music around the world. My work has now been in major productions around the world including NFL, MLB, The Red Cross, Netflix's El Club, Hollyoaks and many more, if you want to see work so far or are interested in potentially wanting to use anything you can contact me directly on my website - www.nightwolfuk.com
I am very happy that I have been able to find and work with Lois on my ideas as well as hers as it shows we can take on any project we work on in the future and it is exciting even for me as it pushes me further and I already have songs and ideas floating around my head that I know it will be Lois I call on in the future. I look forward to getting back into creative mode and out of the back office stuff I am currently in, but it's all going to be worth it, I hope, no, I know!
The title alone suggests resilience and defiance. What does being ‘unstoppable’ mean to you personally in today’s music industry?
L.P: To not listen to haters I suppose, to continue with passion despite anything else or barrier in the way.
N.W: I do not even know what is going on if I am completely honest in today's music industry, with the unwelcome influx of AI artists and music being flooded into the already overwhelming sea of artists already trying to be heard, with everyone or everything starting to sound the same and not seeing any real originality or people being themselves, there are still glimmers of hope out there in the music world, film and game music production is still amazing and full of story tellers. But in a generic swamp of everyone wanting to be famous and would rather be a content creator than a music artist and be authentic rather then following the latest fad or trends and calling yourself an influencer when your life is most probably not as important or worth posting each detail about each waking moment…. Wow! I am old. I also have only just really accepted I myself have to try and put myself out there more now in todays world on social media etc but am only going to do it about music releases or for my business’s, I do not think I will ever be someone to be posting constant videos about my thoughts or how great or shit my life is, anything for engagement I guess, but look it is what it is now, people now seem to ask how many followers you have rather than stick around to see if they actually like the music themselves and seem to have to wait for the algorithm to reach them, my god am I on a rant here or what. I have forgotten what the question even was… Right the title of the song, as it was the ultimatum and ending climax to the song it made sense I think to call it that, Lois I think was the one to suggest the name of the song or It was me as I know I asked Lois to name out 4th project The Laws of Life.
Your music often blends electronic grit with emotional storytelling. How do you balance technical production with emotional authenticity?
L:P: I bring the emotions, Night Wolf deals with the technical computer music.
N.W: The computer music haha, I play everything but use a computer and midi keyboard ! Yes, well for this song it really is all based around the guitar riff we recorded first and played around with, everything else just fell into place and flowed easily. I was just going back and forth working around what Lois was recording. It's all based on the vibe and feeling on the day and based on how Lois was feeling even subconsciously affected the tone etc of the recording, it does have a certain sadness to it but also I feel is like walking towards the light at the end of a dark tunnel. I just honestly enjoy making music that helps me get through how I am feeling when I want to sink myself into making a song. It is easy to have an authentic sound when you work with authentic people I guess, there is no talk of auto tune in this room haha. But I would use it if it brought another element to the song, like Cher… Do you? That song haunts me in my sleep and I do not know why! Anyway I enjoy to make this kind of distorted take on creating a pop song with Lois, for this project in specific, this was a moment to be able to play with producing a song around what Lois brought to the table this time and around a guitar part, If I could play the guitar somewhat well, if again this is English, then I would have more in my works. It is all just feelings and being able to try and express yourself somehow when you maybe are not very good at discussing them out loud.
Do you envision “Unstoppable” as a turning point or sonic direction-setter for upcoming releases?
L.P: Possibly, who knows what emotion will stir next.
N.W: Yes absolutely, this was a pivotal point in our musical relationship and showed that we can work with Lois coming to sing my ideas as well as being able to work together from scratch with no real direction just meeting, having a cup of tea and quick catch up then jumping straight into recording and seeing where it goes. This was the moment I was able to learn about how Lois likes to create a song from start to finish too and we learnt a lot about how to approach recording sessions moving forward. I am sure looking back on our work we will reference Unstoppable as the song that was the moment we realised we could really have something special in making music together and getting both of our ideas out into the open, Lois is like me very independent and we will both be continuing other projects , but we will continue to come back to work with each other sooner than you think , currently due to being in the “back office” and in set up mode I am not creating as much music as I want too. But it's all necessary and just putting the foundations down and laying the pieces of the puzzle out ready to connect. We are also going to record music videos for all our singles which will be released on YouTube channels so keep your eyes peeled. I do not think we would ever start a session with saying we will focus on a specific style unless one of us already has the structure for an idea we have created, but Lois will also be doing her own thing alongside working just with me so there is lots to come from both of us soon!
Your tracks tend to feel cinematic and immersive. If “Unstoppable” were the soundtrack to a film scene, what would that scene look like?
L.P: Colourful, vibrant. Like the sun seeping out of grey clouds. Splashes of water, but it’s cold and invigorating.
N.W: I think it would be the main character in a mess driving away as the sun is setting, they are running yet again from a problem or storm they have maybe self inflicted and are with each progression of the song starting to realise that they maybe do not need to run away anymore and the turn with the resolution of the song and climax and drive foot down head on into the storm cloud so to say with a smile on their face and a bright light shining on them, with a feeling of not quite not knowing how the scene actually resolves and turning to black. We keep getting told that our music together would work well in a James Bond film or such as the like and a newly acquired fan made some amazing mock videos replacing our music for the main opening titles of some recent James Bond films and it really does work well. So I will push for the music to get into the right hands for placements in similar settings hopefully. I think it would be a great soundtrack to a film/tv or even potentially a scene in a game. It also suits well for a drive home and for a moment of feeling like you are strong enough still to break through the darkness and see that light again at the end of the long dark tunnel! I look forward to being able to try and bring another level of story telling with the song when we complete our music videos.
Working mostly behind the scenes as a producer, what drives you to step forward creatively as Night Wolf rather than staying anonymous?
N.W: It might seem odd to why the producer is slapping his name over everything on the title of the track and artist etc, butttt…. This is me as an artist working with other people, this is not me working solely as a music producer. I have been working since 2018 with Flipper Music and during that time and 9 albums , I had no control over the names or artwork of releases, didn’t even get told release dates and the music was never intended to be I guess promoted to the public like normal music releases would be, It was intended for music supervisors and for potential placement in film/tv/game projects so I never promoted my music like I am now and wanted to use this new push along with creating EscaVolt Records to be the launching pad for me and the artists that I collaborate with where we have full control and take things 50/50 down the line with decisions etc. I am also creating these short videos for my back catalog with me trying to be “artistic” whatever that means , I won't know until I start recording, I would like to try and open up more and start to let people know what I am about and what I have been up to in the background for a few years back now. I would love people to be able to find my back catalog and follow me on the journey now of reinventing myself so to say as an artist and producer and finally getting my shit together and self releasing on my own label, as well as creating an easier way for clients and productions looking for unique music for visual projects to contact me for direct lease or quotes. I have also got some free tracks on my website for content creators to use if they wish. But yes, I am letting people know that I am here now and what I have been up too I guess and know if I want people to listen, I need to put in the work on socials and try and find our people out there. I am about to naturally be using my name and CV so far so to say for the creation and sale of my sound effect packs as they are coming from someone already somewhat established in the music world so it is all a push to be able to let people know the name and what I have on offer. It's not to say I will slap my name on every collaboration I do but I do have I think a more unique way of dealing with who gets what and what I provide if you do work with me in the release of the music and what I intend to do with it, I think it's a pretty good deal to have my name up there with the main artist, and I think they would agree. Otherwise we can always discuss exclusive buy outs ;)
If a listener walks away from “Unstoppable” feeling changed in some way, what would you hope that feeling is?
L.P: They’re feeling inspired and motivated.
N.W: I am not sure it really will be life changing for someone although of course the thought of that happening is an amazing one if it were to happen. But I think people can maybe walk away after listening to this song with a new found sense of self worth and no matter what is going on it is impossible to just stop some things and you must face it yourself, like having a little push from a friend when it's needed most to push you back on the path of self motivation and care. I hope you enjoy our music and thank you for listening, keep in mind we have our next release The Laws Of Life which is our 4th collaboration together being released on 21st March 2026 on EscaVolt Records and if you have enjoyed Unstoppable, I personally think you will love our next song. Check us out and please follow us if you fancy tagging along for the ride. I will be happy to share any tips I can in the future and will be actively seeking more up and coming artists out there to work with in the future.
