BENTLE, the project of New York-based Australian artist/producer Josh McVey shares his new single, 'Beam', out on all streaming platforms today.
Combining lush synth work, hypnotic vocals, and pop-laced melodies, BENTLE delivers a blissful track perfect for the incoming Summer. The new single is a vibey, feel-good anthem destined to soundtrack those sun-soaked days ahead.
BENTLE elaborated on the inspiration behind the song, saying "'Beam' is my personal animation of what being caught in an endless thought loop looks like on a summer morning. I wrote it beachside with some friends while traveling through the Caribbean last year - I was processing so many new experiences and feelings at that time and ‘Beam’ takes me straight back to that night."
"As I woke the next morning I couldn’t stop humming the “honestly, I can’t be free” lyric and melody - I can remember it ringing in my head from the early hours of the morning and it was just so contagious I had to get it down on paper. I love this song because I can still smell the fire and see the hazy horizon from that night."
Josh is a singer, songwriter and producer originally hailing from Brisbane, Australia and now living in New York City. Producing and writing all of his own material, he delivers glowing indie-pop tunes packed with reflective and introspective lyricism.
He’s been laying a foundation over the past few years with a number of single releases, including his 2021 hit 'MONDO', and is now preparing to release his debut EP later this year.
