Van Alden is the deep, pop-noir music project of Los Angeles-based artist, star of CBS’s Big Brother and clothing designer, Paul Abrahamian. Here he delivers a whispery blend of musical styles that combines imaginative and eclectic pop production with a powerfully urgent ballad for a stunning result. “Stay” is from Van Alden’s upcoming EP, due out on June 21.
A follow up to his self-titled 2018 release, Van Alden’s new EP is a strong showing of a fully-modern singer-songwriter, bent on expressing life’s more intense and complicated emotions from loss, memory, to freedom despite pain. The dark, moody, and synth-heavy sounds make the record feel like a lonely 3 a.m. smoke on a rooftop in L.A.
Abrahamian garnered the public’s eye with his appearance on two seasons of CBS’s hit series, Big Brother. The new record serves as a juxtaposition of the perceived idea of Abrahamian as a “reality star” to his identity as a music artist, allowing established and new fans to see another side of his personality, artistry and energy that translate into an undeniable live show. Tracks like “Otherside,” “Boheme” and “Never Die” are cinematic, living in their own all-encompassing world into which listeners are instantly pulled. Those who only know Abrahamian from his time on reality television, will be pleasantly surprised by the artistry displayed by Van Alden.
Van Alden is set to perform live throughout the summer in support of the new release. Stay tuned for new material and news from Van Alden and follow him online at http://instagram.com/deadskull
