Harnett adds, "The first day I met Baynk was the day we wrote settle. As soon as I walked into the room I felt like he was family. I always enjoy those writing sessions the most because you feel comfortable enough to open up. The story behind the song was based on the in between before you’re with someone and after you’ve started seeing each other. That dreaded unknown and the confession that you do want it to move forward. BAYNK’s clean heart translates in his music and I’m so excited for us to do more together!"

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I either spend a day or a year on one song. I love incorporating wordplays and use a childlike way to tell about love, death, depression, astronomy, and religion. To me, some of the most beautiful music in the world is the classical Hymns and that is where I get a lot of my inspiration”.

“To me it is centered around the feeling of powerlessness. When it’s always possible find someone to be with but nevertheless always feel alone. That you can feel on top of the world though still with the knowledge of being rock bottom. The feeling of knowing it all even though you just don’t get it. To feel so lonely that it seems impossible to ever be understood again”.

Like an astronaut floating aimlessly in space just waiting for the oxygen run out” - KOPS

'Selfish' by Jeremy Zucker out now!

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Growing up in suburban New Jersey, 22-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer Jeremy Zucker, has always been surrounded by music. As a child, he took piano and guitar lessons and formed a band with two friends from elementary school. By high school, he was writing lyrics and producing songs for other people. Eventually, Zucker recorded a rough demo, which became his first real release ‘beach island’ in the summer of 2015.

From there, Zucker released ‘motions’ in 2017 and performed at his first sold-out show at The Studio of Webster Hall. Following the massive streaming success of his 2017 single ‘talk is overrated’ featuring blackbear, 2018’s intensely personal EP glisten delivered the groundbreaking song ‘all the kids are depressed’, the first widespread glimpse into Zucker’s songwriting ethos.

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Titled ‘Selfish’, the new single features an upbeat melody with a strong theme of falling in love, but realizing it isn’t all that you’d thought it would be and those gut-wrenching steps that follow when you have to let go of your special someone in order to become a better version of yourself—Hmmm relatable? We think so, too.

Zucker’s music is for anyone who enjoys letting their hair down to relax, or drive you to sing and dance along.

Turn up the volume and enjoy :)

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“For me the music is about the feeling and connecting with individuals than addressing a widespread topic,” he explains. Always from the heart, the songs take you on a journey that speak to the fans, yet still remain at the core of Jeremy Zucker’s identity. “That’s what makes my music unique, I don’t listen to it thinking ‘is this what people are gonna think is dope?’” he says. “It’s like no, it’s what I think is dope. That’s my compass.”
