Eunith Takes A Deep Look Inward With Introspective New Single “They Wanted You”

“They Wanted You” is a smooth electronic rock track capturing the full scope of emotions intrinsic to the experience of searching for fulfillment.

Indie synth-pop artist Eunith makes a splash with his electronic rock track and first release of 2022, “They Wanted You,” out now. This dreamy track explores some of life’s most arduous roads – specifically the ones encountered when we begin to ask ourselves big questions like “what do I want to do with my life?” The artist leads listeners through a journey characterized by doubt, fear, growth, and gratification; “They Wanted You” offers a sultry moodiness showcasing the songwriters ability to effortlessly adapt his dreamy synth-pop style to brilliantly capture moments of pain and beauty with a hint of sparkle. The instrumentation on this track is built upon crisp, relaxed percussion decorated with layers of textured keys. Eunith delivers impassioned vocals masterfully manipulated with processing that tells a story on its own. The songwriter and producer absolutely reflects his talents at their best with this project; listeners can expect to hear a sound reminiscent of artists like Tame Impala, Gus Dapperton, and Radiohead on “They Wanted You.”  

The best art always conveys an emotion or a state of being to you. This song is a more *specific* emotion, and I feel it only every couple of years.” – Eunith

While this track takes a rather existential route in meaning, it started off as a simple exercise testing out new software effects. The electric piano at the introduction proved to be just the inspiration Eunith needed to facilitate the creation of this masterpiece. After setting the foundation for the song with angelic keys, the artist layered in a complementary electric guitar line. Eunith returned to the mix after taking some time away from the project to marinate on potential bass and drum lines. He saw this mix come together seamlessly as he perfected the synth track. “Having written much of this track back in 2014,” he says, “believe me when I say that it’s my favorite synth line I’ve ever written.” After shelving this project for about a year, the artist added vocals and placed the final touches on the single. The songwriter says, “even just one year allows you to look back at an older version of yourself and realize that music is often so much more reflective of who you are (or were) than just the notes you played.” He would not have changed a thing about the extended creative process behind “They Wanted You.”

Listeners can stream “They Wanted You” on all major streaming platforms out now.

More about Eunith:

American singer, songwriter, and producer Eunith balances his love of dance music with the influences of garage rock, indie pop, and hardcore from his adolescence. The musical development behind Eunith is marked by several stages throughout his life: Piano child > Guitar kid > EDM nerd > Ambient fan > Funk wannabe > and finally acceptance of the self. Eunith’s debut single, “One Another” has been featured on the Synth Pop Newcomer blog and playlist, as well as Synthpop Fanatic 2021. His single, “Now” has been featured on the Towards The Light blog, as well as IndieStream. While many of his musical influences are apparent upon first listen, some less-obvious artists have been integral to the evolution of Eunith’s sound, including Yanni, Iron & Wine, and The Fall of Troy.

Keen to channel the eclectic sound of multi-instrumentalists from his teen years, Eunith (née Matthew Prewitt) found momentum in the use of guitar pedals and eventually the expansive world of software instruments, suddenly able to contribute any sound to a number of folk, electronic, and rock projects during his undergraduate time at Yale University. After returning to the west coast, he briefly worked in mixing and mastering, with his work being played at such venues as London’s Ministry of Sound. His music is primarily made within Ableton Live, and regularly features one of his three favorite guitars  – the pink Strat, the white SG, or the aqua Dano. Today, he makes most of his music at a desk near a window, in a house built in the 1940s.

Playboi Carti Feels “Like Weezy” as MUSIC Dominates the Streets

Honk Magazine

Playboi Carti is known for his unique style and unpredictable nature, but when he celebrates his achievements, he compares himself to one of the biggest names in hip-hop: Lil Wayne. Recently, his album MUSIC sold an impressive 500,000 copies in just two weeks, leading Carti to proclaim on social media, “FEELING LIKE WEEZY WE ALREADY PLATINUM N DA STREETS,” which means he feels as successful as Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne has greatly impacted hip-hop, and Carti has always admired him. You can see this influence in Carti’s music and style.

For example, Carti’s latest release is named after Wayne’s famous mixtape, showing just how much he looks up to the rap legend. Like Wayne, who built a massive following of loyal fans, Carti has also captivated the music scene. Interestingly, the success of MUSIC coincided with the ten-year anniversary of Carti’s first big hit, Broke Boi. A decade ago, he was just starting out, but now he is a well-established artist whose music releases are highly anticipated events. Fans are now looking forward to his upcoming album, BABY BOI. Given Carti’s history of surprising fans, it might take a while before the album drops.

But that excitement is part of what makes being a fan enjoyable. Like his promotional strategies, his previous album, Whole Lotta Red, was filled with surprises. At the same time, Lil Wayne is set to release his new album, Tha Carter VI, this year, creating an interesting parallel between the two artists. While one hip-hop icon continues his legacy, the other is making a name for himself while paying homage to the past. Regardless of when BABY BOI is released, Carti’s influence shows no signs of slowing down, and if he truly is “like Weezy,” the best is yet to come.
