Touting collaborations with Mykki Blanco, Shea Couleé, and now AIR APPARENT, GESS operates in the r&b / pop space as a singer, songwriter, and producer.
After a highly productive year in 2020, due in part to his breakout single 'Dance', AIR APPARENT returns with his first single of 2021, 'Bad For Me'. Featuring vocals from GESS, 'Bad For Me' is an effervescent future-pop affair imbued with modern indie sensibilities, written in mind for everyone who has been told they'd be better off without someone they hold close. 'Bad For Me' is out now on all streaming platforms via Pug Life Records.
Throughout his continuous ascent, AIR APPARENT has built a name for himself through his signature electro-pop sound, dipping his toes into the indie space while always maintaining a highly accessible sound. On 'Bad For Me', the Pug Life Records budding star pulls together inspirations from across the musical spectrum to craft a cohesive, yet daring, earworm. Featured vocalist GESS shines over the bright future-pop production, singing "I don't mind that you're bad for me... / I get high on my ecstasy," acknowledging a foundational worry that directly contrasts the instrumental's shimmering tone.
