Our electropop wonder-boy, Von Sell, is back with a brand new single, "Stay" following his last release, "I Insist", which came out in April to ubiquitously enthusiastic reviews. His debut EP will be dropping this fall, and "Stay" is the perfect teaser to show us what's in store. More electronic in conceit than his previous two singles, it begins with a downtempo, glitchy synth line and smooth bass. Von Sell's signature, attention-grabbing vocals float above the bedrock of the track striking a balance between ambient and sweltering-hot, right in time for August. In the lyrics, he beckons us to "come over, and stay...", and we can't help but comply. Of the new song, he waxes personal: "I remember thinking about these archaic roles men and women assign each other in relationships, emotionally, sexually, temperamentally, intellectually. We’ve evolved in every way until it comes to how our relationships actually materialize. It’s like we’re still wearing our kids clothes and they hardly fit but we refuse to buy something new in our size ‘cause of our programming.”
Take a listen to "Stay", and catch Von Sell at his artist residency this month at Pianos in NYC on 8/10, 8/17, 8/24 & 8/31
