Emerging artist VJDAMUSICMAN delivers his genre-bending and enticing new affair ‘UGLIES’, accompanied by a high-energy official music video this April.
VJDAMUSICMAN is a 24-year-old Indian-American aspiring singer-songwriter from Durham, North Carolina. The multi-faceted talent released his positively acclaimed debut album ‘Escape The Retrogade’, before releasing a follow-up EP entitled ‘Rangi’ a few months later. Embracing inclusivity, diversity and equity through the power of his music, both releases allowed his audience to understand his versatility through the eyes of the beholder, whilst showcasing his grief, thoughts and feelings to resonate with listeners from all aspects of life.
Amongst many accomplishments, his second studio album ‘Kinks & Trauma’, released in 2021, accumulated over 1 million Spotify streams, received huge commercial success across TikTok and boasted all themes of authenticity and vulnerability. His sound is expressive, unforgettable and innovative with a vast knowledge of all genres, nurturing it all into his own personality and style. Reminiscent of legends including Childish Gambino, Raja Jumari and more, his new release ‘UGLIES’ showcases another side to this ever-on-point talent’s artistic nature, as he delivers a genre-bending and lively official music video this April.
‘UGLIES’ opens with a luscious blend of bright synths, retro waves and innovative percussion which effortlessly float out in the distance. VJDAMUSICMAN’s flawless lyrics and punchy vocals add the perfect amount of shine, whilst elevating listeners to a new level with powerful basslines and hard-hitting drums. It’s a track that fits perfectly in the pop realm but incorporates a runway-esque aesthetic across the official music video with the right amount of sassiness, power and enthusiasm that he is best known for.
“UGLIES is a a fun, summer dance anthem poking fun at people who catfish through dating and online profiles!” – VJDAMUSICMAN
