Beautiful Buzzz is absolutely delighted to have the honors of premiering rising artist midnight’s turbulent new single, “Pressure Gradient”. The stirring single comes as the first off his forthcoming EP, “Nocturne”, which will be releasing via Majestic Casual.
Enlisting NY-based artist ylxr to spearhead the production, the two creatives bring their unsurpassed abilities to the table and develop a heart-rendering, contemporary ballad. The artists’ chemistry and the track’s mixing is nothing short of breathtaking. A relaxed, r&b-fused melody sets the foundation for the piece while midnight’s satiny-smooth voice provides a devastatingly beautiful contrast to the rollercoastering glitchy synths and jaw-dropping vocal chops that decorate the single. The result is both mesmerizing and intoxicating, sending listeners on a journey filled with musical complexities and deviating sounds.
midnight discusses the passionate thoughts that inspired the track and explains, “‘Pressure Gradient’ is birthed from the struggle to balance rebellion and restraint as a person of color living in a country terrorized by bigotry. The lyrics covet the simplicity of being in love while drowning in the anguish of that bigotry.” midnight’s passion seeps through the emotive single, leaving us awe-struck and bedazzled, and it surely will leave the same lasting effects on listeners.

"Warpaint." sets a very cool tone with big low end beats and a funky groove - this is the kind of song the cool awkward indie kid in high school who wore Blur T-shirts (oh that was me) would be listening to.

[PREMIERE] ARK PATROL - CURIOUS (FT. VICTORIA ZARO)
Music, Original Mix, PREMIERE, PremiereCommentWe've got a full slate of awesome new music to support today, but I'm going to start things off with this killer new single from Boston's Ark Patrol. "Curious" is a mysterious sounding electronic pop tune full of sweet melodies and lush sounds that move forward with robotic like precision. Victoria Zaro's vocals keeps you locked into the lyrics with a melancholy tone that both entrances and tugs you into her pensive state of being. The record is built with light and charming synth sounds and melodies, but yet the combination of it all with Victoria's vocals result in a somber sounding tune. According to the artist "The sounds and song structure are a callback to a more 90s - 00s pop style. Alternative electronic pop. It would be nice if this song reminded listeners of what's out there. The styles we've left behind as a world and the room there is still left to discover as a generation.” Out today on Heroic recordings you can stream "Curious" here.

[PREMIERE] LEO ISLO - HIGHER LIVING (ORIGINAL MIX)
Music, Original Mix, Premiere, PREMIERCommentHappy Thursday! And what a great Thursday it is. Our good friends over at Los Angeles Music Project (LAMP) have given us an absolute gift of a track to premiere today from Arizona bred, Portland transplant Leo Islo! "Higher Living" is a wonderfully written and even better produced track showing off both his silky smooth vocals and frictionless production style. This record will just melt over you taking you on a mellifluous journey of a twofold variety. First I feel this track blossoms with upbeat synth-wave melodies and sounds, but is also coupled with a somewhat melancholy overtone echoed by the lyrics and vocal style. A subtle kick accents a brooding bass line with waves of arpeggiated synths and an absolutely infectious chorus vocal. With this just his second release on LAMP and a relative newcomer to our pages, we have absolutely no doubt he's firmly implanted to stay.
