‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Alternative pop artist Aries returns with two new singles. Titled ‘CONVERSATIONS’ & ‘FOOL’S GOLD’, the new music arrive just in time to close out 2020 with style. With both songs highlighting a different vocal side of Aries, ‘CONVERSATIONS’ feels a little more upbeat and fun while ‘FOOL’S GOLD’ drives a more moody and reflective tone throughout the song.

Both showcase the impressive and often lyrical-driven production style accompanied with heavy 808’s and distorted guitar samples. A signature sound that we’ve come to love and enjoy from Aries’ music.

From the singing of the harmonies, to the wit behind Aries lyricism and message, both of these songs have a lot to offer old and new listeners.

Listen to Heart Attack on Spotify. Silent Child · Song · 2020.

Brand new music from Silent Child, stream 'Heart Attack' here

November 24, 2020 by Gems Secrets in EDM, Electronic, Pop, R&B, Alternative, Bedroom Pop, Dark

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Atlanta based artist Silent Child — real name Rodney — is currently putting out some of the best music of his career. From the songwriting to the sound design, Silent Child has not only formulated his own unique sound but his energy and direction are bold and unmatched. It’s been exciting watching him flourish into the artist he is right now but we’re even more excited to see where he goes in the coming years. As his own writer, producer, and engineer… the potential Silent Child possesses is limitless.

“This song is about my caution for the future based on past damage. When I started making music, it began with me thinking I was a god. I would make anything and believe that it sounded amazing. A rude awakening hit when I sent my music to actual professionals and would get bombarded with destructive criticism and told to quit. That idea sunk in my head long enough for it to be a permanent feature of my personality. I almost gave up on my dreams and I’m a heavy victim of self-loathing/doubt. But I stuck with it only because I knew that one day, I wouldn’t hate myself or my music anymore”.

Check out the new single and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Silent Child online to stay up to date on his plans and enjoy!
