Life and Career

[edit]

John Nicholas Ealand Morgan and William Martyn Morris Lansley[1] grew up in Newbury, Berkshire, and met as teenagers[2] after being introduced by a friend with whom both were independently making music with, first meeting in a bedroom making music together.[3] Both attended the University of Bristol.[4] In 2016, the pair released "Eva", their debut single,[5] which featured a manipulated voice sample and a B-side track, "Fix".[6] A music video was released for the former in January 2017.[7] They then moved to South London, and in July 2017, the pair released "What I Love" alongside a music video shot on various housing estates in South London, which ended with a long panning shot of the London skyline.[8] In September 2017, the pair released "Fading Youth" alongside a video and an EP,[9] which featured "What I Love",[10] and in July 2018, they released "King Without a Crown", which featured Skinny Living and Kid Ink.[11] In July 2019, they released "Anything (For Your Love)",[12] and the following month, they released "Don't Take It Personal" featuring Malika.[13]

In July 2020, they released a cover of the Mario Winans song "I Don't Wanna Know" after flicking through old R&B acapellas and discovering his,[14] which charted at No. 83 on the UK Singles Chart,[15] and in November 2020, Raye and Rudimental released "Regardless",[16] which Punctual produced,[3] and which charted at No. 37 on the UK Singles Chart.[17] They then released "The Step" with Nabiha, which sampled Missy Elliott's "I'm Really Hot",[3] and "Smoke Ring", which they co-wrote with Gez O'Connell and Jordan Riley,[18] the former of Ritual.[19] In July 2021,[20] they and Aluna Francis of AlunaGeorge released "Summer of Love",[21] an attempt by Francis to relay the emotions she was feeling about 2021,[20] and in September 2021, Jason Derulo released "Acapulco",[22] which was produced by Punctual,[23] and charted at No. 65 on the UK Singles Chart.[24] In March 2022, they, TCTS, and Raphaella released "Love Me or Lie", a song Raphaella wrote during the first COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom about mixed signals received at the beginning of a relationship and recorded in her makeshift home studio in her parents' living room;[25] in an interview with Notion, TCTS stated he approached Punctual with the idea after producing a remix of "I Don't Wanna Know".[26]

In April 2022, they released "We Could Have It All",[27] which Raphaella and Sarah Close wrote the melodies for,[2] and in March 2023, they, Armin van Buuren, and Alika released "On & On", which charted at No. 30 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart,[28] and appeared on van Buuren's album Feel Again.[29] In July 2023, their song "Do It All Again" charted at No. 60 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart.[15] The pair then co-wrote Nonô's "Domingo", a song about falling for people not from Latin America, with her and Henry Tucker, hook and melody first; after being asked to expand it by the label, Nonô and Tucker wrote a second verse and had Punctual produce the song.[30] A video was later released for the song.[31]

Artistry

[edit]

A July 2019 interview with Disco Mix Club stated that the pair cite Flume, Kaytranada, Calvin Harris, and Basement Jaxx as influences,[12] while in a February 2021 interview with Dancing Astronaut, they cited Riton, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Basement Jaxx.[3]
