HeIsTheArtist gets real on his latest single, "Virgin"
Out on February 26th, 2021, HeIsTheArtist has made his return with a powerful new single, “Virgin”. We are loving it! Do yourselves a huge favor and read along with us for our full thoughts on the track, as well as an insight on the artist.
Following up his acclaimed cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide”, New York-based singer and songwriter HeIsTheArtist is back with a free flowing blend of R&B, Hip Hop, and more. The artist let us know that this track “delves into the experience of a Catholic Nun taking a vow of abstinence and how difficult that is while living in a society where the temptation of sex is everywhere.”
Produced by Christian Label Wright Music Group and HeIsTheArtist, the song turned out fantastic. Having listened to it a few times now, the artist is truly going with the flow both lyrically and with an overall vibe. The atmosphere of the track is of a carefree nature, however, the context in which we’ve mentioned above proves to be something different.
One of the highlights of the song is just how well the intertwining genres blend together here. On one end, you’ve got a slightly fast paced backing beat that can be grooved along to, but there’s also a fair amount of R&B that can be found within the instrumentation. However you’d like to describe it yourself, it really is a danceable song that is bound to get stuck in your head. Deserved to be played loud, this one’s a true winner.
By the looks of it though, HeIsTheArtist has been quite busy in his musical output as of late. With the release of “The Snake Charmer” and his EP Adam & Eve, he’s really been on a roll. Considering we loved “Virgin”, we really had no choice but to hop back into his discography and explore it for ourselves. To no surprise really, it’s all as quality as this newest single and definitely deserves some time put away to listen as well.
Overall though, we really enjoyed what we heard, and we think you will too! It’s got us excited to see what direction HeIsTheArtist takes in the future, but we won’t rush him for now. At the moment, we’ll just be streaming “Virgin”. All streaming links and social media links can be found below. Enjoy!
