カリフォルニア州ロサンゼルス拠点のアーティスト unusual demontが、12/8にAvant GardenからリリースしたEP『CHRYSALIS』より、'COMPANY'を公開!
今のSpotifyについてどうとかじゃなくて、ある一点を特定のアングルで見る前提で書くと、やっぱりアーティスト育成プログラムの Fresh Findsは間違いなく成功ですね。最初に選ばれたアーティストは、Wallice, EKKSTACY, Julia Wolf、そして unusual demontの4組です。みんなハイプな意味じゃなく曲が良いし、それに見合った露出を獲得してきてるように思います。もちろん、これからもっと人気になるだろうし。
このEPは他の曲もいいけど、この曲が一番好き。Omar Apollo, ODIE, Brent Faiyaz, Mac Ayresが好きな人におすすめです。
“'COMPANY' is the last song I made on CHRYSALIS. I met someone when I first got to LA, and during all the high and lows I was facing at that time they made things feel better for a bit. They made things feel better for a bit but the baggage that came with the feelings became too heavy for me to bear and we eventually split. I wrote this one very shortly after to vent. Even though it does stem from a sad experience, I wanted to make the song upbeat. Lending itself to the concept of CHRYSALIS; that dichotomy of seeming/sounding fine, but below the surface there’s a lot more going on. I've found that contrast to be a bit of a staple in my music thus far and I love it. This relationship, like the rest of the project, was a fleeting but crucial part of this transitionary period of my life.”
