With 20 years of experience in the music industry, Brooklyn based artist-producer stevexcooper has credits in writing, recording and performing. His former projects secured a major deal with Atlantic Records, collaborations with Grammy nominees Ricky Reed and Nolan Lambroza, and shows supporting the likes of M.I.A., Royal Blood, Incubus, and Biffy Clyro.
Launched in 2020, the stevexcooper artist project is best described as left-wing pop and rap, bending stereotypical genres, and creating dynamic beats, is a companion piece to his production work in New York, London, and Los Angeles.
“My goal is to develop a sonic identity across the production work and artist releases.” explained stevexcooper. “I grew up on rap and pop, but also Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and other artists who captured the sound of worlds colliding.”
Bad Reviews
New single, Bad Reviews, features underground art-pop artist, Gabe Gill. After meeting at the beginning of the pandemic, their socially-distanced studio sessions turned into an explosion of styles and talents.
Bad Reviews is the A-side of their collaborative release, BREAKDOWN AT THE CINEPLEX, and consolidates their multidisciplinary skillsets.
“The movie theme and visual concept revealed itself through the songwriting process, rather than being discussed in advance,” said stevexcooper. “We’ve been wanting to drop for a while and tried hard to find the right pair of tunes. “You N Me Show” was in the can already when a light bulb went off during the writing of “Bad Reviews.” We realized it also used television and movie-making metaphors to tell a love story.” Gill adds, “Both songs use the cinema metaphor to explain the feeling of distance and dissociation in many relationships – the sense that you’re almost viewing something on a screen instead of actually experiencing it.”
With blaring bass lines and enveloping choruses, Bad Reviews would be at home on any dance floor. “Even when we’re deeply exploring emotionality, we’re still having fun,” said stevexcooper.
