Australian Electro-Pop Artist Hopium Shares New Song SUNGLASSES

London-based Australian producer, singer and songwriter Hopium has delivered his latest single "Sunglasses," a melodic production inspired by walking out into the daylight after an evening at iconic Berlin club, Berghain. Hopium describes "Sunglasses" as "about wanting to find someone, but being too scared to truly show yourself." The track marks the second release for the multi-instrumentalist since signing to Warner Bros. Records, and sets the stage for his debut full-length for release later this year.

Showcasing Hopium's creative ability, the visual for "Sunglasses" takes the viewer on a faded journey set in a neon-lit club with dreamy tropical aesthetics. "We made this video over four days in Melbourne - in a club, in the rainforest, and in the ocean," Hopium explains. "I journey into my subconscious and eventually have to battle myself."

First sling-shotting his way into the public consciousness in 2014 with breakthrough hit "Dreamers" - which was later sampled by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth in their smash "See You Again" - Hopium has begun to make his mark with his distinct musical blend of R&B, hip-hop, synth-pop and indietronica. A multi-talented artist across several facets of modern music, Hopium extends to collaborating on all visual media that accompanies his projects, from the concept to lyrics and production and the design of artwork. Leaving the small studio industry behind in Australia, Hopium travelled through China, Amsterdam, London, New York and Los Angeles, before landing in Berlin where he lived for six months and pushed his productions to new levels. He eventually settled in London, and is currently finishing his full-length debut, with plans to build an immersive live show by the end of 2018.
