Further
building out an immersive sonic world, gold-certified pop phenom AJ
Mitchell has officially released a new single entitled “STOP.” The song is the next chapter to be
unveiled from his anxiously awaited full-length debut album, Skyview,
due out this year and executive produced by Mike Dean.
The
track pairs a thumping bass line and flurry of funk guitar with a showstopping
vocal performance. He delivers charismatic verses before igniting the instantly
unshakable hook, “I don’t wanna stop, baby it’s our time.”
“STOP” continues the journey that was set in “CAMERAS
ON,” released
late last Month. The conceptual lyric video shared today picks up where “CAMERAS
ON” left off. While
“CAMERAS ON” depicts the story of AJ dealing with the darker sides of
fame and his previous experiences with the content collective Team 10, the new
lyric video finds him walking away from the cameras to the stage, depicting his
passion and dedication to the music and what truly matters.
With all of the songs released from Skyview thus
far, we’ve seen AJ Mitchell truly coming into his own, showcasing his knack for
great storytelling.
“When you listen to the
album, I want you to feel nostalgic,” AJ says. “It really takes me home.
At the same time, I want you to know more about who I am. Talking to the camera
is unnatural for me. The best way for everybody to understand me is through my
songs. I’m still just a kid who lives his life through music. There’s not a
single day I don’t think about it or don’t want to run to my guitar, my piano,
or my notepad and start writing.”
Since
emerging in 2018, AJ Mitchell has consistently asserted
himself as pop’s most dynamic new leading man. Averaging over 7
million monthly listeners on Spotify, he impressively leaped
past the 1-billion stream mark within three years. In addition to
being named a Vevo LIFT artist and MTV Push artist, Variety championed
him on its “Young Hollywood” 2020 list. Beyond acclaim
from Billboard, Idolator, Highsnobiety,
and Seventeen, he delivered show-stopping performances at the MTV
VMAs and on The Today Show and Good Day New York.
In 2019, his Slow Dance EP yielded the gold-selling
title track “Slow Dance” [feat. Ava Max].
Including the latter, he has logged four songs on the Top 40 at Pop
Radio thus far. He’s also become a
trusted collaborator, recently joining forces with Cheat Codes for
“Hate You + Love You.” Throughout 2020 he also collaborated with names
like Elle Henderson, Steve Aoki, Captain Cuts, and more.
Over the past year, he assembled his full-length debut Skyview with
the legendary Mike Dean as Executive Producer.
Now, the cameras are on, and AJ Mitchell is
ready to shine in 2021.
