sunsetto Shares New Single ‘drugs are for fun’
Toronto-based singer, songwriter and producer sunsetto has just shared his brand new single/video, drugs are for fun, out now via Sunset to Sound.
Produced by Danes Blood (Rico Nasty, Leyla Blue) and BEN10K (G-Eazy, DaBaby), and written by sunsetto, drugs are for fun is a sobering conversation about coping mechanisms, wrapped around an uptempo and melodic production. I am really enjoying this contrast between the lyrics and the production which allows for listeners to dance but also relate to an important message. I am loving how smooth and shimmering sunsetto's vocals are, infusing the song with a vulnerable and somewhat dreamy touch that is wrapped around a polished electro-pop production packed with lush, expansive synths, groovy rhythms and percussive elements that create an overall upbeat, feel-good atmosphere.
sunsetto elaborates on the new single:
I wrote the song in LA last November about coping mechanisms that formed from seemingly harmless fun with partying but that led to some important conversations and changes in my life. The song is disguised as an upbeat catchy pop anthem but, at its core, is a sobering conversation between two people. Nobody is perfect, and we’re not all lucky enough to have someone in our life that cares enough to tell us we need to make a change.
The accompanying video was shot in Nova Scotia, Canada. With his beautiful childhood landscape as a backdrop, sunsetto uses his own reflection to find comfort. Check it out below!
