Restless Modern – Give It All You’ve Got

One of the most interesting alt-pop newcomers to have emerged over the last year has been Wisconsin-based singer, songwriter and producer Restless Modern.

Today sees this rising talent release his anthemic new single, entitled ‘Give It All You’ve Got’. Powerful and impassioned, the song was written for a special moment in the artist’s life:

“Written for my wife, used for our first dance at our wedding.”

To date, Restless Modern has garnered praise from iconic outlets like Billboard, MTV, Lyrical Lemonade and Atwood, while also commanding close to 50k monthly listeners on Spotify.

Restless Modern – How Do I Do with You?

Wisconsin artist Restless Modern is back today with another outstanding alt-pop release in the shape of new single ‘How Do I Do with You?’.

Taken off of the new EP ‘A Likeness Complicit’, the song continues to showcase this American talent’s refreshingly unique approach perspective on the world, and in turn his music-making.

“We live in a broken world, and collective self-examination yields that all of us are complicit in this to some degree. It is comfortable to place blame outside of ourselves, but it is difficult to look in the mirror and objectively apply those same standards. It is a Biblical concept that we were all made in the ‘likeness’ of God, but this is a standard that we have failed to live up to. It raises questions about which pieces inherent to us represent this “likeness.” What does this distortion imply about our nature, or about the nature of the source from which we were derived? Thus, ‘A Likeness Complicit.’ This EP is meant to evince self-responsibility and an uncomfortable self-awareness.”

New Music: Restless Modern

Emerging from Wisconsin is producer, singer and songwriter Restless Modern. With over 23 million Spotify streams under his belt, this talent has already picked up attention from the likes of Billboard, Lyrical Lemonade, MTV and Atwood.

In an interesting twist to new music, his new single ‘I Hate That I’m Addicted to the Internet’ is a 50’s inspired pop song that looks into our online traits and behaviours.

“The algorithms of today’s online world are a sleight of hand trick in which your personal agency of choice is cleverly replaced with a curated buffet of predetermined options. It’s easy to blame the machinations of well-known profit engines for preying on our most base instincts, but to what degree are we responsible for understanding and taming the rabid neural pleasure centres that we poke and prod, aimlessly searching for a satiation that never comes? ‘I Hate That I’m Addicted to the Internet’ highlights how our personalised desires, fears, and obsessions fuel the monster, desensitising the youngest among us and luring them into participating in a vapid cycle of desperate performance.”
