"Withdrawal": A Symphony of Desire and Dilemma by Avara (feat. Four)

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

“Discovering The Undiscovered”

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Avara united with R&B/pop marvel, Four, birthing the track "Withdrawal". This isn't just a song—it's a story. A narrative of lovers caught in a magnetic pull, tethered by emotions yet divided by circumstances, all swaying to an R&B melody laced with hints of soulful melancholy. With "Withdrawal," Avara and Four articulate the throes of desire, the ache of yearning and the fog of doubt that clouds passionate connections.

Avara describes it as a "deep-dive into the grey areas of affection, where clarity becomes a luxury and emotions, a whirlpool."

Four, chiming in with his perspective, talks of the cyclical dance of loneliness and longing, and the veiled layers of dependency that relationships often cloak themselves in. Avara's not just an artist; she's a storyteller with a melody. As an Indian-American, her songs become canvases where she paints strokes of her cultural heritage, all the while spreading the message of embracing and cherishing one's unique identity.

Four's rise to recognition is attributed to his vocal magic, especially the spellbinding quality of his falsetto. His songs, which have garnered attention on platforms like YouTube, channel raw emotions, echoing the sentiments of artists like Miguel and Frank Ocean. And as whispers in the industry suggest, his upcoming EP promises to be another musical gem.

So, if you wish to lose yourself in a lyrical labyrinth of passion and ponder, let Avara and Four's "Withdrawal" be your guide. Enjoy!

Watch the music video for Marian Hill and Yung Baby Tate's "oOo that's my type" here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Powerhouse duo Marian Hill return with their signature minimal and gritty sound, returning to the forefront of innovative alt-electronic music with the new single 'oOo that's my type'. The new single marks the road towards Marian Hill’s upcoming album fusing elements of hip-hop, R&B, and pop into their eclectic electronic soundscape. The new single ends with a smooth and seductive finish, blending gritty bass with warbling vocal effects and delicately percussive found sounds, a signature combo that we can’t get enough of.

"Before the pandemic, we'd gotten a bit jaded," share Marian Hill. "The excitement of a career in music had worn off, and there were moments when we thought about walking away. Then, of course, something that had never happened before happened. When everything stops, you really take stock of what you have. Marian Hill gave both of us the lives we'd always dreamed of, and kept us going during the darkest times yet. In a year when Samantha found herself turning 30 in her childhood bedroom and Jeremy suffered a traumatic injury to both of his wrists, the music we made for Marian Hill gave us something to feel good about in a world full of uncertainty. For a few moments each day, we could get lost in a song, and pretend we were playing it for you. And we made our favourite album yet."

We’re excited to hear the new material and even more excited about the visuals Marian Hill has planned for us. In the meantime, keep “oOo that’s my type” on repeat and check back often for updates. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online and enjoy!
