Growing up as an athlete in New York, Lefty Been Rich has always felt the powerful influence of music — how it can completely transform your mindset and impact your day. Gaining musical inspirations from UK pop, Afro/Dancehall, and hip-hop sounds, he released his first single “2am” in 2021. Now, the Brooklyn-based artist continues to carve out his own sound as a hyperpop-dance-rap fusion artist with his new single and music video, “Up” out today.
Ahead of his debut EP, this single gives us a peek into what we can expect and we are so excited. An ultimate dance song, “Up” meshes Lefty’s 1970’s influences with a nostalgic 2000s club sound and a new, current beat. It embodies the controlled chaos of a fun night out with friends. Atmospheric and bold with high-pitched, smooth vocals and layered tracks, the production is spot-on. Backing vocals will echo in your ears and the beat will sink into your soul as you’re transformed with a full-body experience. If you close your eyes, you’ll swear you’re on the dance floor.
Lefty Been Rich paints a visual portrayal of the song through its music video, further establishing him as a storyteller and artist who is here to stay.
