“‘DOIDOIT’ is about the one question that I think unites everyone: 'why am I the way I am?' It's a reflection on my life over the last few years as I've moved from sleeping on couches to making a living with music and a dissection of the decisions I've made in the meantime. I've got a nasty tendency of basing my self worth on how busy I stay and how productive I am, and while that's fueled me in getting music off the ground it's also led to me tearing myself apart when I feel like I'm not living up to the expectations I set for myself. I got to a place about a month ago where it hit me how unsustainable that is over a lifetime, and ‘DOIDOIT’ was written in about 5 minutes as I questioned why my brain was wired that way. This is the quickest I've ever been able to write and release a song.”

BRONZE WHALE - NEVER

Austin natives, and long time friends of Beautiful Buzzz, Bronze Whale, have once again released a track that we can’t help but support. Over the years of listening to their music, we have seen them create dynamic electronic remixes and moving originals, but nothing has seemed to compare to their latest material. They have managed to keep true to their electronic sound, while morphing it into their own style infused with breakbeat drums, R&B vocals and a soul that is truly untouched. Their new track “Never,” comes as yet another luscious original that uses muted melodies to complement the engaging, and emotional vocal that speaks to moments of grief, loss and the stages we go to to finally bring our head above water. If you’re looking for the next tune to get stuck in your head, then turn the volume up and enjoy.
