“This beautiful gut-wrenching song is filled with so much pain and emotion. I’ve been going through a rough breakup and decided to give the song a spin. It’s been wonderfully cathartic. That’s what I love about singing. Expressing all these raw emotions and releasing them is a blessing, and I hope this song helps someone else as it has helped me. I’m grateful for music, and for the power it has to transcend boundaries and lift our hearts. I’m looking forward to sharing a lot more music with you this year!”
Aris’ third full-length album “Pulse” will be released in May of 2016. The successfully Kickstarted album “Pulse”, delivers a hearty collection of dance, rock, soul and world sounds, and features a collaboration with Grammy winner Paula Cole. The first single “Reborn” by Brooklyn native Aris straddles the lines of rock, pop and electronics with a thumping stomp-clap-kick groove, lush live strings, layered harmonies and soaring hooks. The music video takes cue from the core message of the song – the universal power of love. The lead single from Aris’ upcoming album “Pulse” is now available for purchase on iTunes and to stream on Soundcloud, with remixes and a music video supporting the release.
Reborn “isn’t just an all-out, face-to-the-floor adrenaline boost, there’s a seductive element to the track that gives it another dimension. ‘Reborn’ perfectly balances the up-beat with the laid-back, chill vibe. It’s this duality that really shines through above all: not quite EDM, not quite Pop, and not quite Rock, but a perfect blend of all of these styles coming together to create something new entirely.” writes Evan Morgan of Poet & Pariah. The new single “hits you in all the right spots” notes Phil King of Audiofuzz.
Aris and his music have been featured in fashion campaigns for Project Runway winner Irina Shabayeva and on dance floors at venues such as the legendary Webster Hall, the Bitter End, Santos Party House. Jim Fusilli of The Wall Street Journal describes Aris’ music as “rock with big lyrical themes” and offers comparisons to singer Peter Gabriel. While Aris has also drawn comparisons to Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell and Seal, his sound is definitely unique. Aris “combines a punk sensibility with electronic dance to create a unique grunge house sound all his own” writes Nashville’s “Inside OUT”
