Haunting Single Ushers in a “New Chapter” for ARTY: Listen

by Michael Ryan · Published July 21, 2023

ARTY is turning the page of a new chapter after releasing "Listen to Me," a haunting dance stunner out now on Armada.

Dialing up the tempo to hyperpop territory, ARTY has delivered a stunning departure from his signature, soaring sound of yesteryear. Despite his creative deviation, however, it's clear that his ability to craft achingly melancholic melodies is as strong as ever.

The track's title is a loud-and-proud appeal to ARTY's fans as he plunges headlong into a new era of his artistic direction. And if today's comments are any indication, a new album may be on the way, although we're unable to confirm that at this time.

"I’m taking a leap and going into the unknowns with my new music, but I want to share this ride with my fans, and I believe we’re about to have a lot of joy together," Arty said in a press release. "'Listen to Me' marks an entirely new chapter in my career and it’s only the beginning for bigger and greater things to come. While it’s been extremely overwhelming to see and hear the reaction of my fans and listeners, more than anything, I'm beyond happy to share this new single with you all."

According to Armada, "Listen to Me" is ARTY's first release on the label since his master and publishing catalog were acquired by BEAT, its dance music investment arm.
