The likes of Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus have worked tirelessly over the years to prove that when an established star decided to merge the boundaries of film and music, it can be a beautiful thing. Set to join this list of multi-talented artists is Pitch Perfect‘s Skylar Astin, as he kickstarts his solo music career with debut single, ” Without You”.

And, with the artist hoping to provide a bit of escapism with his latest cut, expect the captivating nature of the artist’s acting skills to transpire into his dreamy vocals, ensuring that listeners are taken on an intense sonic journey.

“It’s about feeling that new connection with someone, being fully present and not wanting to live without that person,” Skylar describes when speaking on the meaning behind his new release.

And, accompanying the infectious cut is a set of newly released visuals. Under the haze of warm ruby lights, watch the multifaceted creative draw on his acting skills as watchers can enjoy the scenes of him heading to a party filled with glistening glitter balls and embroiled in post-night out introspection, furthering the exciting and romantic messaging at the heart of the track. With a debut EP headed towards a 2022 release and the promise of more love-filled anthems hanging in the balance, it is safe to say that we can expect big things from the star’s solo music career.
