Australian music artist Anirban Jee has just released Move Out.
The new track builds on the emerging artist’s list of achievements which include Songwriter of the year 2018 (Australian Songwriting Contest), Songwriter of the Year 2017 (SongsAlive Australia), Winner of the International Category at the 38th Australian Songwriting Contest 2018, Winner of the Ballad Category at the 38th Australian Songwriting Contest 2018, Winner of Contemporary POP Category at the 35th Australian Songwriting Contest 2017 and many more.
But what does all this recognition mean? In the purest sense, one would think it acts as a positive energy force for the artist, enabling them to continue creating. And that’s just what Anirban has done. The particular style Anirban is pushing is contemporary dance-pop, and in this case, a minimalist version of it.
Synth lines follow a machine beat that lays the foundation for a rather adamantine vocal performance, the stern nature of which is no surprise considering the song’s narrative: how else does one impart such a statement? As Anirban Jee says about Move Out, ‘The track is symbolic of standing up to our troubles and fighting back with resilience and not letting our problems and worries get the better of us and steal our peace of mind.’
The new song follows healthy responses to his previous singles, Mayday, Deep Down feat. Mary Ann Van Der Horst (2014 X-Factor artist) in 2016 and Undecided feat. Judd Field in 2014, which received airplay on commercial and community stations. Move Out was recorded, produced, and mastered by Sydney’s multi-platinum producer Steve Peach from Stereo Missile Recordings, Sydney.
Steve produced and mixed for numerous record labels such as Universal Music, Sony, Central Dance records and worked with artists including Icehouse, Marcia Hines, Stafford Brothers, The Voice Contestants, Jenny Morris, Sophie Monk, ErikaHeynatz, Lonnie Gordon, Slinkee Minx and Choirboys.
Move Out lays bare a stark feeling yet does so with reasonable vigilance; by exploring the typical tropes of the dance-pop genre without surrendering to too many of its more predictable characteristics.
