Following the success of his viral hit “if u think i’m pretty,” rising UK grunge-alt artist Artemas is unveiling nine fresh tracks that are eager to connect with listeners.
“pretty” explores a slow descent into madness, featuring a hypnotic mix of pulsing 808s and a raw confrontation with the struggles of coping. Artemas embodies a captivating duality, feeling intensely yet offering only a vacant stare. The 13-track project was finalized on January 25 and released just two weeks later, showcasing his eclectic musicality and scattered state of mind. The lead single, “breath away,” captures the essence of “pretty”, highlighting Artemas’ strengths with its immersive soundscape and a narrative steeped in sensual tension. The project is packed with standout tracks, including the moody “please don’t humble me,” a powerful introspection as Artemas grapples with his own karma.
With his viral single amassing over 50 million streams on Spotify and earning a feature on Zane Lowe and Jeremy Degan’s “24 for 24”, it’s clear that 2024 is shaping up to be Artemas’ year. Fans who have already fallen for his unique sound are becoming even more devoted, while he continues to draw in new audiences.
