Reece Lemonius Shares “Feeling Nothing” From New EP
Reece Lemonius is a rising eclectic artist from London, whose songs have already accumulated in excess of 10 million streams on Spotify alone as an independent act. His debut EP, Midnight (2020), combined alternative R&B with a tasteful mix of late ‘70s and ‘80s retro elements and a modern pop production, while his newly released EP, Feeling Nothing, is packed with synthesisers, jangly guitars, coated in modern sounds and bolstered by tight, funky basslines. VIDEOS BELOW The EP title track, “Feeling Nothing”, is Reece’s third single from the project, and it has all the makings of a bona fide hit. The infectious track has a vibrant energy and is the perfect mood-boosting romantic reminisce to get listeners hyped up for the changing seasons. Offering up a groovy dance beat and a soulful vocal performance, it’s one of Reece’s most impressive tracks to date.
Speaking on the concept behind the track, Reece Lemonius says, “Lyrically, the song discusses the feeling of being stuck in a routine and desperately looking for some sense of feeling. It’s the theme for longing for something to bring liveliness to an otherwise dull and numbing daily grind.”
Clearly armed with heaps of talent and a fresh and dynamic sound that has huge appeal, Reece Lemonius will be a name to pay close attention to over the next year. With millions of streams to his name already, he’s showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and “Feeling Nothing” will only propel his rise even further.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
