2015 was a "rollercoaster" for WSTRN, our final MTV Brand New For 2016 nominees we're throwing the spotlight on this week, "but in a good way."

After charging up the Shazam chart with 'In2', the debut single ended up at No.4 in the Official UK Singles Chart and led to their first ever arena shows, which Louis admitted, "I was shaking like a leaf before I went on stage," but Akelle felt right at home saying, "I was like where are they, bring 'em! I'm ready."

Louis continued: "I was shaking, but as soon as we went all on stage, however we was feeling, as soon as we were all on that stage, it felt right. We all shared a look and it was like, yo, this is mad. "

That's the attitude we'd come to expect from a trio who all discovered each other growing up in West London, all with musical roots embedded in their families and friends.

"I think all of our influences are very different, we have a wide spectrum of influences,' Louis said. Haile's range from "Nas to Jay Z to Brandy" as well as Kendrick Lamar," while Akelle is on more of a "Lauryn Hill, Fugees kind of vibe."

Louis identifies with soul music telling us, "I like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, even down to stuff like The Carpenters and Burt Bacharach and stuff like that."

Woo
Uh, I'm just in my zone

You'd be lying if you said
I wasn't somethin' that you're into, into
Don't be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into
Don't need to hide it
You can be mine let's take it slow
Man he's a hater
I'll let it slide, I came for you

You'd be lying if you said
I wasn't somethin' that you're into, into
Don't be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into
Don't need to hide it
You can be mine let's take it slow
Man he's a hater
I'll let it slide, I came for you (oh yeah)

When I was in a party it was on me
I remember it all, it was last week
When I stepped in it, it was all free
Haven't seen the spill on your Jeans (thats right)
Do you remember asking me what I'm into
I replied music 'baby follow my Insta'
Show you what I'm into deeps what I'm into
All you two face friends ya I been through
You'd be lying if you said I wasn't somethin' you're into yeah
(Just tell me the truth girl)
You lying to yourself, I told you my name is Akelle
Been in and out girls, must being able to tell
I been dying for a chance to tell you I'm into you
Just tell me the truth girl

Just tell me you like me (tell me you like me)

Tell me you want me yeah, yeah, yeah
You'd be lying if you said
I wasn't somethin' that you're into, into
Don't be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into
Don't need to hide it

You can be mine let's take it slow
Man he's a hater
I'll let it slide, I came for you

You'd be lying if you said
I wasn't somethin' that you're into, into
Don't be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into

Don't need to hide it
You can be mine let's take it slow
Man he's a hater

I'll let it slide, I came for you (oh yeah)
Listen
You'd be lying if you said I wasn't somethin' you was into
Mama would you buy this shit too? Bet she did
Never been one for them to the settle with

Cellophane wrappin' it up as soon as I get with it
Menacin', Mendocino the? That I'm steppin' wit
Syllable why are these words not comprehendin' it

Ending it mashing the works that's where your belly get
Trembling baby you ready that's how I end
You'd be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into
Call me dumb and unfollow it
Baby girl that's what you can't do
So won't you take a straw with me girl
No stress off this, on me girl
'Cause I can make you scream (I can make you scream)
Just put your trust in me

You'd be lying if you said
I wasn't somethin' that you're into, into
Don't be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into
Don't need to hide it
You can be mine let's take it slow
Man he's a hater
I'll let it slide, I came for you

You'd be lying if you said
I wasn't somethin' that you're into, into
Don't be stuntin' in front of your friends
You know what I'm into, into
Don't need to hide it
You can be mine let's take it slow
Man he's a hater
I'll let it slide, I came for you, woo
We ridin'
This time I decided
Forget all the pride and
You're in for a surprisin
We ridin'
This time I decided
Nana na eh
Woah yeah

The success of 'In2' caught them all by suprise. "When we made the song, we knew it was a good song, we put it down, and everything's happened because, we've had to keep up with the song." Louis added.

"The song came out, [Akelle] gave it to some DJs who played it, and then it was like, oh we've got to do a video now. We made the video, the video started getting views, silly views. Then we were like, we've got to sign to a label now. It was crazy!"

As for what 2016 holds in store for the group, they told us we can expect a "great album" and that their "live shows are coming along nicely."
