Aime Simone has released an intimate video shot during lockdown for his new single \u2018Everything\u2019s Changing\u2019. The track is the latest to be taken from his forthcoming debut album, ‘Say Yes, Say No’, out on July 31, pre-order here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u2018Everything\u2019s Changing\u2019 is an airy electronic acoustic-laced track, which opens the forthcoming album. The song is about acceptance of mortality.\u00a0It is about facing the fear of death, the unknown, and accepting the finite nature of a lifetime.<\/p>\n

The song is meant as a celebration of the transition from a teenage subconscious belief in immortality, the inability to fathom death, to a newfound perspective, forced through life experiences, to accept the inevitable. Part of this change is to mourn the loss of freedom and fearlessness that allowed one to experiment and evolve. Time becomes heavier but also more precious.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everything\u2019s Changing\u2019 is written from the viewpoint of someone who has lost a loved one. It is asking the spirit for advice, about how to embrace the loss of control, how to understand and face mortality, to treasure the passing of time and make the best of it.<\/p>\n

Regarding the single Aime says,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis song is inspired by the thoughts and feelings I was affected by when I became a father. It made me realise that one day I won\u2019t be there for my daughter, and that\u2019s the cycle of life. It is a hard lesson. The illusion of immortality is a cocoon that allowed me to experiment with my body and psyche in order to discover myself without fear of consequence. But when death became relevant, it felt like my past self was experiencing some kind of death, which somehow made me understand better what it means to be alive.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Aime Simone offers tenderness\u2026A songwriter of rare depth, the emotional undercurrents from his work are innately tied to the world around him.\u201d – Clash<\/p>\n

The forthcoming album\u00a0‘Say Yes, Say No’ is a bright and soulful record from the Berlin-based, Parisian singer and is entirely self-written, produced and mixed. It is an open journal and a journey that weaves from reflective nostalgia of melancholic lows, to a breath of new energy and hopeful sentimentality.<\/p>\n

‘Say Yes, Say No’ is a sensitive and unique take on pop music and finds inspired by his varied influences; from post punk and indie rock, to hip hop and trap, as well as soul and 60s pop.<\/p>\n

The album prompts a response from all emotions. It\u2019s a record to dance to, as found in the vivid alt-pop of lead single \u2018What\u2019s Up With The World?\u2019, while it\u2019s also a record to cry to. The latter provoked by deeply honest and moving moments such as the haunting \u2018Don\u2019t Be Sad\u2019, or the single \u2018In This Dark Time\u2019, recorded in reaction to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

‘Say Yes, Say No’ carries an inspiring theme throughout, revealing a supportive message of comfort to those who have ever felt alienated or isolated.<\/p>\n

This is demonstrated directly in the title itself.\u00a0‘Say Yes, Say No’ reflects a life of self-doubt, heavily influenced by icons, while also dispirited by the opinions of others. Ultimately, ‘Say Yes, Say No’\u00a0flourishes to celebrate a new found self-confidence.<\/p>\n

Aime Simone\u2019s character is both unusual and complex, dictated by a life that has experienced great highs, the deepest lows, and huge challenges.<\/p>\n

‘Say Yes, Say No’ plays as an open diary, deeply honest and therapeutic, both sonically and lyrically. Inspired by life changing moments and a fresh outlook on the world, the album is captivating and thought provoking.\u00a0‘Say Yes, Say No’\u00a0is an intimate introduction to the fascinating being of Aime Simone.<\/p>\n
