R&B attention grabber, ASTN, releases his latest musical offering, “Real.” The single follows up his major-label debut, “Gradually,” and is set to feature on his upcoming EP, You’re Almost There. Due out March 25th on Warner Records.
Along with the single, ASTN drops a stunning and hypnotic visual directed by Cameron Nisbet. The visual matches the pulsating and magnetic baseline. ASTN’s vocals never lose focus, and the crescendo of the strobe lights personify the building doubts we may have if what we ever experience in a past relationship real?
“Beyond the lyrics of the song, the darker instrumental illustrates the mixture of spite and emotional numbness that one can feel during this phase.” There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel: As this project shows, feelings are temporary and, with time, these darker emotions can be replaced with something better.”
ASTN captured the eyes and ears of millions with his now famous cover of Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever,” gaining over 60 million views on his TikTok Post. With his original works now making their way into world, it’s safe to say that ASTN is beyond a producer and artist that creatively flips songs with a R&B twist. His lyricism and penchant for arranging and producing proves that he has the talents of a R&B powerhouse.
