Check out Been Stellar’s new single video release “Sweet” via Dirty Hit. New York, NY’s rock band Been Stellar continues to break ground with their sound and gritty sensational style. “Sweet“ is a song with depth and smooth transitions. This melodic and harmonious song provides a good vibe alongside video, celebrating the strong bond they have.
“Sweet” seems like this is the voice of the band, showing their life and love of music. Their sacred spot at the practice space is nothing fancy, but it’s their very own creative energy source in constant progression for the world to witness. Been Stellar are hitting the road and conquering some pretty big festivals in the near future. The music is quite melancholy and also hard-hitting and guttural. There is no wonder this band are getting their name out there and earning it for certain.
“We were all intrigued by the simplicity of the verse; it felt like something we would usually shy away from,” shares vocalist Sam Slocum. “I really tried to let the music inform the lyrics and to not overthink what was coming from the song’s natural feeling. One of the first lines that came to me was, ‘We’re speaking when we don’t know what to say.” I think in close relationships, the most pure moments shouldn’t need to be spoken about. And in life in general, the things that matter the most and bring people together shouldn’t warrant many words, if any. Words complicate feeling sometimes.”
