Brand new music from Aries out now, stream 'CONVERSATIONS' & 'FOOL'S GOLD' here

December 16, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Alternative, Cloud Rap, Indie, Punk, Rock

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Alternative pop artist Aries returns with two new singles. Titled ‘CONVERSATIONS’ & ‘FOOL’S GOLD’, the new music arrive just in time to close out 2020 with style. With both songs highlighting a different vocal side of Aries, ‘CONVERSATIONS’ feels a little more upbeat and fun while ‘FOOL’S GOLD’ drives a more moody and reflective tone throughout the song.

Both showcase the impressive and often lyrical-driven production style accompanied with heavy 808’s and distorted guitar samples. A signature sound that we’ve come to love and enjoy from Aries’ music.

From the singing of the harmonies, to the wit behind Aries lyricism and message, both of these songs have a lot to offer old and new listeners. Go ahead and check it out for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any upcoming material for 2021 and enjoy!
