In Focus brings you a talented upcoming artist that has earned a spot on our radar. We’re scoping out these rising stars from every city, style, and scene.
IN FOCUS: Black Atlass
WHO IS BLACK ATLASS?: Our friends told us he’s a 19 year-old producer, singer, songwriter, and blogger.
HAILING FROM: Montreal
DIG IT IF YOU LIKE?: Flying Lotus, James Blake
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?: Even though his newest release is on Fool’s Gold, Black Atlass is certainly not very foolish. It seems he’s come a long way since his debut EP, released gratis last year – it’s dark fuzziness had hints of dub, electro and R&B. His track “Paris” was used in a Louis Vuitton x Marc Jacobs campaign video back in 2012, and since, Fool’s Gold caught on to the magic Black Atlass was making. You should catch on too.
UPCOMING: “Paris” and the acoustic version are now out on iTunes for purchase, but otherwise, we hope Black Atlass is mixing up something new and equally as fabulous.
