AIRPORTS collides sonic worlds in "NEED U HERE"
Australian artist AIRPORTS recently dropped his new single "NEED U HERE." Combining punk with drum n bass & EDM, he creates a sound that shimmers with hifi sonics and pop sensibilities, giving listeners something that they won’t have heard before.
On a unique path to carve his own sound and legacy - Brisbane-based singer, writer, and Platinum producer Aaron Lee, aka AIRPORTS, takes an innovative approach to his music. Combining punk with drum n bass & EDM, he creates a sound that shimmers with hifi sonics and pop sensibilities, giving listeners something that they won’t have heard before.
Without skimping on relatable and well-crafted lyricism, this Australian one-man army takes listeners on a journey into his own self-awareness, overcoming battles such as loss and life-threatening illnesses, and forming deeper connections with his fans.
His latest single “NEED U HERE” demonstrates the songwriter’s desire to speak about raw, real, and personal experiences. Touching on loss and everything that comes with it, the emotion-fuelled track covers the loss of a loved one, as well as the loss of true self and identity, allowing listeners to connect with his lyrics on a multitude of levels.
“NEED U HERE” is the perfect example of the artist tastefully blending two sonic worlds. Aaron shares, “Musically, I’ve always loved bands like Pendulum and how they blended rock with drum n bass. I’m more of a pop-punk singer and have wanted to play with the idea of that over drum n bass in a similar but fresh vein.”
Garnering acclaim from tastemaker media outlets such as Wonderland, Popdust, Earmilk, Live Nation’s Ones To Watch, and Culture Collide, as well as spins from leading radio stations including George FM, ZM, Triple J & Kiiss FM, AIRPORTS exclusive and unparalleled sound, is proving to be something that everyone wants to be a part of.
In the background, Aaron Lee is also a sought-after writer/producer whose client list includes Multi-Platinum JPOP group ARASHI, award-winning projects for viral artists, and global brands such as Coca-Cola & Fanta.
AIRPORTS continues to explore new sonic horizons abroad in 2023.
