Now that summer has resoundingly given away to autumn (with winter snapping at its heels), now is the time to make sure your playlists are stacked with nourishingly warm R&B and electronica. Neatly hitting both of those criteria is Brooklyn-based singer and producer Ateller who's today revealing "Cynical Romance" ahead of his upcoming album, I AM U.
The new single, which will feature prominently on the album, is a foot-tapping, muted piece of R&B that blurs the lines between his otherworldly vocals and the throbbing electronics that bubble beneath them. Amplifying the decidedly high-end gloss of the song itself, the video flirts with the surreal as Ateller beats a driving drum pattern while our dancing protagonist twists and turns her body in ways previously never thought possible.
