NYC based artist Josh Lumsden speaks with us on their latest single “SEROTONIN,” the creation of the music video, and more!
Independent DIY pop artist and acclaimed NYC-based producer Josh Lumsden recently released their latest new and music video titled “SEROTONIN” on March 1st, and it’s definitely a banger. The release marks the second single of Lumsden’s sophomore EP, ‘VYYPER’, slated for a 2024 release.
“SEROTONIN” features full production by Josh Lumsden independently, pivoting to a more dance-funk sound blended with powerhouse belts. It’s very clear that this combination of self-production on the instrumental and clever songwriting skills in the lyrics make for an ear worm of a song that’s hard to get out of your head.
After my first listen, I was completely enamored by the beautiful soundscape Josh created on the instrumental. Once Josh’s vocals came in, I felt like I was floating just listening to the beautiful melodies they sing. As the song progressed, it only got better and better. The hook is unbelievably catchy and fun, I fell in love with the track instantly. Josh’s voice sounds like it was sent straight from heaven, truly. This song is honestly such a bop that it should be on everyone’s playlist.
The video itself is captivating from start to finish too. It features Lumsden as two separate entities – an anxious capturer, and a detained creature of hybrid physiology. Dragonflies consistently reappear in different parts of the video, serving as a recurring visual motif that ties the scenes together. At one point, Josh has hooks in their back which delivers a bit of a shock factor and intrigue that draws you in. The video is quite an impressive feat as they themself are credited as the director and editor of the project. I found myself watching this video several times over the last few weeks because the visuals capture so much of the energy found in the song itself. Beautiful, ethereal, captivating, and stunning. It’s a must watch!
