Rising French superstar Aime Simone is back with the release of 'New World'
Rising French superstar Aime Simone follows on from his recent acclaimed release Baby Don’t Quit with an epic new single “New World” and music video directed by Sebastian Zimmerhackl and Sonja Fix - taken from his forthcoming album Oh Glory out 5th of May.
Deep basslines layered with sparse guitar flecks lay a minimal foundation for a signature vocal performance from Aime, proclaiming the fight for a better world in this alternative pop anthem. With a stunningly creative animated visual that sees Aime morphing into visions of a future human-machine hybrid, the mesmersing A.I world of trippy landscapes and textures points to a singular creative mind at work.
Speaking on the track, Aime states: “‘New World’ carries the idea of fighting for a better world… A manifesto song that invites us to think: how do we want to get involved to protect our future? Our family? Peace? The planet? It’s a question I often ask myself, especially now that I’ve become a father. I think a lot about the world I’ll be leaving for my child. It’s a song that talks of hope and determination in a time of conflicts and transitions”.
The Paris-born singer-songwriter and producer recorded his debut album Say Yes, Say No in Berlin, releasing it independently in July 2020 - including the viral hit single “Shining Light” (+30M) Serving as an introduction to Aime's musical and stylistic vision - one that Aime describes as "post pop", his compositions combine the finesse of pop song writing and club music that fed him during his formative years spent in Berlin.
With over 1.6M monthly listeners on Spotify and counting, a recent stand out performance for the Montreux Jazz Festival’s ‘Spotlight Sessions’ and an upcoming performance at Great Escape festival on 12th May, the release of “New World” underlines Aime as a standout new name in the pop landscape – and with his new body of work on the horizon, a bold new talent crossing into UK consciousness.
