STOLAR ERASE YOU

NYC artist Stolar has taken up the challenge of releasing a new song for every month of 2018. Embarking on this new year’s resolution, the singer, songwriter and producer starts with ‘Erase You’. It’s a vulnerable song that reflects Stolar’s mind as he mulls over a recently extinguished relationship, and it’s one that he can’t seem to shake. The jaunty production, with R&B beats, pop melodies, and a drop of funk in the undertone, it shows off Stolar’s technical skills and well as it does his wordsmithery. By the end of the song, you have a real sense of the events and why our lovesick musician is feeling so. Clearly not one afraid of sharing, Stolar opens up on the song and his year ahead: “"Erase You" might be the most raw and vulnerable song I've ever written. It's been a really big year for me in terms of unexpected life experience: heartbreak, a new love for music I've never known, new friends, a new home. This is the first of the new songs I'm writing that captures that experience of rediscovering who I am in 2018. The "Raw Emotions" project, and releasing new music every month for a year, has also put a healthy pressure to make sure EVERY song feels transparent and real.” - HT
