ORIAN is finally ready to give us the full picture after teasing a constant string of single releases over the past year with the announcement of his debut EP ‘Before It Weighs Us Down’
The EP “Before it Weighs Us Down“ showcases the songwriter’s journey from his debut light pop track Tryin’ in 2018 to a more introspective and organic space, with lyrical themes focusing on the self, family, social issues and relationships presented in a melody fused soundscape of gentle electronics and guitars.
Written mostly in the winter of 2019, ‘Before It Weighs Us Down’ is a true collaborative effort including such esteemed collaborators such as Irish legend Craig Walker (Archive, Power of Dreams) and Grammy Award winning songwriter Erik Alcock (P!nk, Eminem, Celine Dion). The EP was produced by longtime musical partner Roman Andor in Berlin and mastered by Latin Grammy Award winner Ainsley Adams (Adele, Train).
Having spent the past year reimagining and refining his craft, Before It Weighs Us Down shows an artist that has come full circle and found a maturity and sound that reflects them, while still remaining honest and true to themself. It is a culmination of a songwriter reflecting on the world around them, and exploring their inner emotions in a way that is both liberating and frightening, and also beautifully necessary.
This outstanding song “Beautiful Disguis” is part of his brand new EP “Before It Weighs Us Down”. This song is one of the best songs we’ve ever heard and it brings a new emotion with every listen. The production of this record is professional and the vocal melodies are very catchy. ORAIN’s voice is a piece of heaven and his vocal performance in this song is incredibly catchy. ORAIN has so much talent when it comes to singing and songwriting and his unique music sets him apart from the crowd. The minute we heard this song we fall in love with it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads! We got stuck on repeat for a long time! We hope you love it as much as we do!
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
ORIAN (Oh -Ree- An) is an Irish but Berlin based Singer/Songwriter.
Having released music under his given name Joey Ryan for 10 years the name change comes with a shift in style, sound and direction for the dynamic artist. ORIAN‘s forthcoming single Ask You Twice highlights the evolution from the folk-tinged songs of Joey Ryan to the tightly produced, emotionally charged, Indie-pop soundscapes of ORIAN.
Ask You Twice focuses on that love at first sight feeling, the urge to throw caution to the wind and follow your instincts. Collaborating with Berlin based producers Joshcka Bender and Andor the unifying factor here is the urgency of ORIAN’s spectacular vocal inflections. An exciting release from an artist to keep an eye on.
